erik2point0108Yes We had an absolute blast playing this. Weird funky mechanics and neat theme kept the whole family laughing.
fluffdaddy9  A racing game using a air pump to move around the ultra-light "magic carpet" pieces... my 5 year old son loves this game. It does require an adult (there is a lot of set-up) but it works well with mixed age groups. (And it goes over well with groups of adults, too!)
pmboos9  This game plays fantastic - the use of the bellows holds kids' interests and the memory aspect makes for a nice challenge. In actuality, there is some interesting physics going on as well (as you add presents, the center of gravity goes up, making tipping over much more likely).

aldanra85Some The black pirat is a bit better game, but the memory element is cool. I am not sure I like the dice timing mechanics, so we just play to x puffs per player (with x changing for handicaps). This one is worst for adults as there is no pirate take that

shawndumas85Some It's HABA which means great game bits! Good kids game. Pre-teens and teens are not likely to enjoy. No half naked women, gore, cursing, or morbidity.
The Unbeliever86Yes My six year old has just about the minimum dexterity required to play this game. All of my kids have fun with this one.
wkusau85Some Fun little game of flying carpets. Kids are probably better at this than I am.
smithhemb7  Pick-up-and-deliver dexterity game with a small memory component. If you are comparing this to Black Pirate (The other HABA game that uses a bellows), Akaba has less strategy/conflict and easier maneuverability, which means that it may be the better choice if younger (4-6 y.o.) kids will be playing.
