Review:
I originally got this for my oldest when he was younger and I was just starting out looking for great kids games. He loved it for years. Last spring I introduced it to my younger son, when he was about five and a half. He also really liked it and wanted to play often. He hadn't been that into games before playing, so I considered it a huge win!
The play of the game is pretty easy, although you can start without the special rules to make it even simpler as younger kids are learning the game. There is a little bit of math involved, in that if you can make an addition problem out of your number cards, you get to draw more cards. Also, since you win by either collecting a minimum number of queens or a minimum point value, being able to add the value of your and your opponent's queens is helpful, but not necessary. I like that while this game has some "mean" cards, they're relatively mild and can be blocked. My younger son sometimes struggles with competitive games if he feels like things are unfair, but does well with this one. It also plays quickly enough, that you can just start a new game in the case of a sore loser.
