duchamp108Yes It can be hard for sure when played with a lot of anticipating and pre-thinking, but you can play it as an experience with mathematics and more try and error . Kids often have fun with stuff like that, when they understand certain mathematical systems ... And the theme is nicely intervowen!
shawndumas812Yes Dispite the way it sounds this is not a kids game. No half naked women, gore, cursing, no morbidity.
tbaker812Yes This is a classic, but extremely math-intensive (even though it's just basic addition and subtraction). It's very easy to load up on carrots and sprint to the finish line, but very tricky to get just enough carrots that you won't get stuck trying to burn up the excess at the finish line while more prudent players pass you up.
Yollege86Yes Fun game. Teaches kids to think about forwards AND backwards, thereby helping them develop a strategy for it. I say kids at 6, they may not be able to win, but they can play the game, and enjoy the experience too.
davebo710Yes A deceivingly difficult game. Kids will like the theme and art work. But, not for the very young. I'd say playing with an 8yo is pushing it.
The Unbeliever610Yes Only plays well with 5+ players in my opinion.
