Just wondering...

Did you play the game with children around the recommended age or did you play with other adults.

I am thinking about getting this for my nieces so I would like to see if others tried it with kids and get their opinion.

I played it with kids on my first run, in July. They generally seemed to enjoy it, and it held their attention for the span of the game.

I didn't take any notes or anything to offer better feedback though, I'm afraid.

We have played it with our 5 year old and she enjoyed it alot. She seemed to grasp the major concepts pretty quick. With kids of this age you are going to have to remind them of the rules every now and again. remember it's not the game you play with your kids it the time spent with them. But the game is rather nice to look at.
