Shade_Jon9  An excellent game for a large group. I always get success with it. Especially the shouting version.
wyldeoad97Yes Always fun for a big group. Kids to teens especially enjoy the loud, chaos of the game. Too much for younger kids -- too many cards to hold and they don't get the bidding.
boltongeordie87Yes Great set collecting game, wild and raucus. Can be played simply with just the commodities or made more complex by addition of the bull and bear cards. I would say min age 7 because the game requires the ability to manipulate cards in hand at speed - sorting, adding and removing quickly. Also my set (very old, modern version may be different) has the same picture on all the cards - just the value and the name of the commodity changes - so players require good, fast reading skills and number recognition to compete.
Larry Welborn86Yes Fun, loud game and the kids love to ring the bell. Card holders come in very handy when playing with younger children. My 6 year old son regularly wins this game. My 5 year old daughter can play but we have to slow down the game a bit for her.

pikkusiili200088Yes  
csjoholm7  Not for the youngest children. Although one of my sons, when he was three, was endlessly amused by listening to his older cousins play the game.
historysteph7  Easy to learn, most children would like this game, but it can get LOUD as they try to be heard. Children enjoy being the first to ring the bell, and everyone has a chance to win.
mcross78Some Very loud, but fun for large groups.
Randy Cox7  You can even play it with young kids (I have played with 5 and 7 year olds, I believe), but you have to temper your play so that they have a chance. Good boisterous fun.
rootbeer7  If the child can count to nine they can handle this. Great fun, lots of shouting.
sosullivan7  They will love it but be prepared for a lot of noise!
The Unbeliever79Yes Kids need to be old enough to hold and sort through a hand of 10 cards.
Yollege77Yes My only issue was my sons hands were too small for the full version originally. We just kicked out a few of each card.

jiffypop67Some Even as a kid I never thought this was as fun as other people did. Not a bad game, but it seems to bog down if you aren't the outgoing type.
laraberrycross66Some Loud and crazy, kids can get upset if no one takes their trades.
