Admiral Fisher10  My eldest son loved this from the age of 6. Now he is 7 he likes it even more. There are a lot of strategies to do well here and it is a lot of fun.
m_hamburg104Yes Wonderful game! It's simple, has great bits, and plays quickly. I wouldn't play this with just adults, but it's about as good as kids games get.
Sagrilarus105Yes This is one very good game with some very good twists in the end-game -- can stretch Mom & Dad's minds as well. The parts are plush and the kids have played this at least 20 times already. My first recommendation when people ask for kid games -- not to be missed. Remarkable game considering the price.
The Unbeliever103Yes Great components! The kids (3/6/8) all love it, and will frequently request it. Mom and dad enjoy playing too.
cagriggs95Yes I'm a huge Knizia fan, so I picked this one up and it has been a big hit with my five-year-old. Game play is simply to understand (simply play a card and draw a cat/dog) and there's a bit of strategy involved. My son likes that you can take animals from the other players and he enjoys arranging his dogs and cats on his side of the table. My two-year-old likes to play with the figures but the game is too advanced for him right now.
Jatoha94Some My daughter loves this game because of the little dogs and cats that are your score. No strategy, but still fun in a Uno-esque way. NO GOOD FOR TWO PLAYERS!
maksum9  I love this one, as do my children. Even the 2 year old loves to sit with us as we play as she can fiddle around with moms or dads cats and dogs. My 6 and 4 year olds love this one and find a lot of humor in it. When their points are taken (points are in the form of these very cute cats and dogs) they say "Good bye kitties!" It has some confrontation, but they kids are good sports about it, and find the humor in it rather than feeling hurt. This one is a keeper in my book.

Yokiboy84Yes Amazing Flea Circus is a great game for kids and families. I've played it with very young children, and 4-year olds easily grasp the strategy. By playing up the role as a circus barker this is a hoot of a game and easily enjoyable by children and adults.
helenoftroy77Yes Nice little card game with the addition of animals. My boys, who are 2 and 4, are too little to play which is why I suggest this game for older children. I enjoy this light card game too even though I am not a fan of card games.
rfage7  A good introduction into card games for the younger set.
Yollege74Yes My kids will play this on their own, and have even taught members of my game group :).
mentis65Some A good age for this game is narrow, age 5 to 8. The rules are overly fiddly for younger players but too lackluster for older players. The best part are the components.
