Ronaldo8  The game hits its sweet spot with kids. My kids love going around with their Ninjas, laser swords, stars conquering the Galaxy. The rules are simple and the game short enough to keep them excited.
sigmazero138  Good especially for pre-teen and young-teen boys (though girls may enjoy it too). Best with 4 players, OK with 3, not so good with 2. Very simple to learn, and enjoyable to play, though strategy options are limited. The theme and colors are what make this game most interesting.
WhiteKnight858  The theme is fun, and the board and components are visually and tactily great. There is player elimination, but since the game time is relatively short, that should not be a problem. In my experience pre-teens and teens enjoy this a lot. I think younger children would enjoy it, too. There are various decisions to be made, enough to make it interesting for the older players, but not enough to overwhelm the younger. Speaking of which, the standard game rules are good for the younger ones, but the older gamers will like the extra strategy that the advanced/expansion rules add.
aljovin7  Kids liked it at 3 or 4 players, but the 2 player game is broken.
boltongeordie66No Interest to declare: I was sent this game as a prize (awarded by this site). That being said, great bits and a cool theme but not much gameplay (I see I am not the only one to say that). The kids (6 and 8) loved playing this but the rules were to complex for them to master first time through and I can see this paling once effect of the theme starts to wear off and the (lack of) gameplay takes its toll.
davebo5  Did not go over well with my 8 & 10yo.
SoLove5  Fun for a while. The boys havent asked for it in some time.
Styro5  My girls (5-9) liked the theme even though they think it is a "boy game". The mechanics are pretty clever and allow for some decent strategies. It has only been asked for a few times, though, so I rate it lower than I might otherwise.
Weapon5  Theme is great here, and the roll mechanics are easy enough, but the added abilities dont add enough fun to bring it out with the younger crowd around here. Would rate higher if it was asked for more.
Dr. Mobius49Some Great bits for a boardgame. Cool theme. Unfortunately, gameplay is lacking. Roll and move isn't bad, but the game is complex enough to be confusing for kids and dull enough for parents to lose desire to play rapidly.
