I bought this for my 8 year old boy in an attempt to find toys that have nothing to do with computers or consoles. We absolutely enjoyed it. We eventually got the whole family playing””three middle-aged adults and three kids of 5, 8 and 11 years. This game was a good way to get the adults off the dinner table and the kids off the computer desk. We had the game outdoors, on the grass. Ensure that everyone has appropriate shoes on, especially if it is slippery outside or else you could take a nasty fall. The weather was fine but it was quite cold. We needed jackets at first, but once we got into the game, the jackets came off naturally. Dad, who was 72 years old, preferred just to watch. The abrupt movements and numerous bending required could hurt an elderly person.
Any person who enjoys competition can try this game. We had two hours of this game, trying out the different levels and games (there are four games””2 of which are team contests with 4 levels of each). We reshuffled the teams many times, just for fun and to keep the game balanced. It was quite funny to see a 5 year old niece and her adult auntie in a team. We eventually had to stop because we were exhausted although we would have loved to play some more. Americans need such type of entertainment to get away from computers and consoles.
By the way, the game also helps kids understand the concepts of taking turns, being just and and lose graciously. If children cannot play games well, it does not really matter how much education they get, they will certainly have a tough life. Back to my game! There are some problems in level 4 which our 5 year old son seems to have taken care of. The adults take longer than the kids!
I’m certainly going to give these as presents to my loved ones.
