Spanky200198Yes You'll need skill in calculating changing odds to be a master of this game, but it is an easy math pill for kids to swallow.
Yollege77Yes Fun, random game. This one can let kids play as random as they like. My son kept picking the pirates, and kept getting them onto punts, and killed me in our first game.
boltongeordie613Yes For adults only really, though bright younger kids will be able to compete as there is very little strategic thinking required.
guantanamo610Yes  
Sheylon612Yes Thematically, I think this is not one for kids (shipping in products on the black market, your pieces are called, uh, 'accomplices'), but the mechanics aren't bad (much like craps) if the kids don't worry about calculating their percentages too much. A fine game but I tend to think it is for the older set.
fuzzyfife512Yes Too much need for math skills to be a good game for young players. Older players with some degree of math proficientcy might be convinced into playing the game and might even enjoy it. But once again most young players would not be interested.
