laraberrycross911Yes Lots of reading, but gameplay is simple and the theme is really fun.
fsumarc88Yes This game is not one that just the kids can play. it will require adult intervention until 10 or 11. There are a lot of reading and things that adults will have to clarify for the young ones. Luckily it's a great game to play with or without kids. Since the first phase of the game involves everyone working together it's easy enough to help and guide the younger ones. Once the second phase starts (the betrayal) it may require an adult to take the part of the betrayer due to secret rules and objectives they will need to complete alone against every one else. This would be difficult for younger players to handle. A lot of reading is necessary. There are revised rules that are a must for this game and can be downloaded at either Avalon Hill site or boardgamegeek.com. This is a great spooky halloweenish game to play with the family.
Matt Loter810 Lots of reading and lots of chits. Can be a lot of fun for kid even younger, but you'll definitely need an adult player there to help moderate what's going on and such.
peacmyer86Yes A great dungeon crawl for kids. Need adult supervision until age 10 or so. Be sure to get and download the revised rules and booklets.

guantanamo77Yes Good Theme. Draws kids into. Relatively easy to play. It's a bit to long.

wkusau711Yes Lots of reading and sometimes confusion over the rules. Thematic without be scary. Can take a long time. Good for co-operative play once someone is turned into the EVIL side. That could be a problem for kids that are followers and not leaders.
