| luwies.mum | 9 | 10 | Yes | A lot simpler and faster than Puerto Rico, requiring minimal set-up, is easier to learn, but no less fun than Puerto Rico. This game also takes less time to play, and is easily re-playable several times over the course of an evening.There are numerous strategies and ways to succeed in this game, which keeps it interesting and, in my opinion, more re-playable than Puerto Rico, in which one tends to fall into the same pattern over and over. |
| Matt Loter | 9 | 9 | Yes | Great game on it's own. It also helps to lay the foundation for understanding much more complicated concepts that will turn up in games as they get older. |
| molnar | 9 | 10 | Yes | We've recently started playing this a lot more 2p - quick, lots of variety from game to game, different strategies to explore. And I think my daughter quickly grokked it a lot better than Starship Catan. |
| shawndumas | 9 | 12 | Yes | Smart teens will have no trouble and are likely to enjoy. No half naked women, gore, cursing, or morbidity. |
| davebo | 8 | 10 | Yes | My boy's been playing this since he was 9. I wouldn't start the average kid on this game, but I've taught a few kids this game and they've done well. |
| erik2point0 | 8 | 8 | Yes | Not every 8 year old will enjoy this, but mine requests it when it is just the two of us playing. Although he hasn't beaten me yet, he has a ton of fun, and is really starting to understand how such a complicated (for kids anyway) game works. |

| Shade_Jon | 8 | 9 | Yes | The kids I know like the game. The rules and card interactions are little complicated to learn initially, but after that it becomes easy. Strategy is a little harder, however. |
| BaSL | 7 | 10 | Yes | Quite complicated, but a good game for kids with more game experience. |
| Mark | 7 | | Yes | Lighter variation of Puerto Rico. Older, experienced kids may well enjoy it. Theme may not appeal immediately. |
| Merkle | 7 | 11 | Yes | If a child has gotten used to playing some of the other Eurogames, then this game may go over well. As a first game, however, start with others (Settlers, for example). Did work well, in that context, in our house. |
| laraberrycross | 6 | 11 | Yes | Not nearly as good as Puerto Rico, but it's pretty short. |
| The Unbeliever | 6 | 10 | Some | Dry and chaotic. |
