azboardgamer910Yes I have used this game for a boardgame group I ran at an elementary school I worked at. It worked amazing. The students loved it, and I had a good time playing too. This game may be playable by a five-year old with some rules modifications, but younger children will have a difficult time with the auction mechanic. Playing without the auction rules might turn off some adults. Overall, it is a great game.
duchamp95Some Not for every adult gamer ...

beauka84Yes This game is excellent for both children, adults, or any mix of both. Helps teach such game mechanics as bidding and resource management. Helps with hand-eye coordination in younger children, and basic physics in trying out new positions for older children. A classic adult dexterity game that translates very well for children all the way down to four years old.
boltongeordie85Yes Comes with rule for 4 different games, of which the simplest two are well within the range of a 5 year old. Handicapping is possible but you would be amazed what a light touch those small hands give them - this offsets the benefits of experience in older kids and adults.
artfuldodge275Yes Though a basic dexterity stacking game - the bidding bean element sets this apart. Adds a "true game" element. My daughter can stack the pieces - but only barely. Probably a better game for teens/adults rather than small kids.
