The Unbeliever88Yes A nice two player game. Requires basic math skills.
Ed the Red79Yes Decent abstract game, with some luck but mostly a 'thinking' game. Short enough that it feels the right length for this sort of thing. Will appeal to some kids a lot more than others, so I would suggest 'try before you buy' if possible.
luwies.mum710Yes The basic concept and objective of the game and mechanics of this game is simple. The mental level of the game depends on the players' desire to sabotage the other player. This could create tension which may make for a good game but may cause some friction between the players for a short time during and after the game :-) All in all, a decent game for older kids and for keeping the math skills sharp.
Mark78Yes Very nice-looking game. A little cutthroat.
wkusau79Some OK game. Like many 2 player games, the smartest kid is going to win a lot more.
Yollege77Yes Personally dislike the game, but my son enjoyed it, and played it very well.
cindy69Yes Pretty game, probably best for children who enjoy strategic games.
shawndumas69Yes Pre-teens and teens will have no trouble and are likely to enjoy. No half naked women, gore, cursing, or morbidity.
boltongeordie56Yes OK for kids and teens to pass the time but not really much of a game.
LostDice512Yes I think there would be a lot better choices for kids.
