1wif102Yes A quote from my son when he was two, "LOUIE FLYIN'! LOUIE FLYING'!"
boltongeordie103Yes Fantastic fun for all ages (kids right up to adults) and surprisingly robust given the battering it takes. Really young kids will have trouble competing against older siblings but from 6 or 7 upwards the playing field is surprisingly level (although the paddles can always be turned, effectively making them narrower to provide something of a handicap).
ef104Yes  
efreeman104Yes Great little game for kids and adults. however, at 3 my son likes playing, but doesn't really "get" the game.
HappyProle104Yes I think adults enjoy this more than kids do, but for both groups it seems to be off-the-charts on the fun scale. So for adults I'd rate this a 12 or an 11, and for kids a 10.
knilob105Yes This is a fantastically fun game for kids of all ages.
m_hamburg102Yes Silly fun for kids and adults. This one really won me over when my two-year-old tried it. She watched her older sister play it with me and wanted to try, so we let her give it a shot. She can't really compete with adults (neither can her four-year-old sister), but she loves hitting the paddle and watching the plane move. As a game for older kids and adults, this one is fun. It's surprisingly challenging and quite amusing. It's not something that I'd want to play for hours on end, but it is good, quick fun.
sanjaysub105Yes Grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, cousins all enjoy this with the kids!!!
wyldeoad104Yes We've had a blast with this game. Watching the diving, looping plane is fun and it is exciting trying to protect your chickens from him. The game is easy to handicap for younger players so adults and children can play competetively. This can be done by making the paddle smaller for the adults and/or reducing the number of their chickens. The only draw-back of the game is that it soon wears out its fun. But, then the next time we pull it out, its fun all over again.
Admiral Fisher9  Wonderful fun!! Nice to see that theyve brought out a new version, even if it is smaller than the original. We play all sorts of variants - Knock Out, making Louie stand upright gives you a token back. We also pretend were playing the World Championships. The kids (7 and 5) love it. So do the adults!
csjoholm9  The only problem is that the kids can get a little carried away banging on the paddles.

jcarvin94Yes Good fun for kids and adults. I've played it with just adults and it was ok but I know that many adults really like the game so it's a rare crossover game between kids and parents.
qzhdad94Yes  
smithhemb9  Silly fun for all ages. Every kid I have shown it to has loved it.
spielguy9  Very fun game that my kids always enjoy.
The Unbeliever94Yes Dexterity game. Balanced skill levels or handicapping required.
wkusau96Some Silly fun. Dexterity is a plus but anyone can play. I say 6 is the minimum but younger kids could play. I just don't think they will ever beat older kids. If you had a room full of 5 yr olds it would be fine.
aldanra84Yes Almost more fun for adults than for kids. For small children, like mine, it is hard to coordinate the pushing of the lever with the somewhat fast plane. Maybe controlling the speed with a resistor??? A great game for 6-9 year olds
davebo8  Gets a huge response the first time you play it, with declining opinion from there on out. Nice game though.
