 Not that fun. Same thing over and over. December 3, 2008

I haven't read the reviews yet so I am not sure what people like about this game. My daughter (who is 6) likes it a lot because it she's good at it and can beat kids and adults handily. However, here is my candid take on this game (which we have played rarely since the first week we got it), and I hope I don't offend.
Pros: Not expensive, nice can, nice cards.
Cons: the person who has played more has a huge advantage. Against my husband and brother (both with advanced degrees) my 6 year old beats them so easily they can't believe she's not cheating. (A quick check of the cards after shows she wasn't). However, she has played more. I am sure they could get up to speed if they were interested but they're not because the game isn't interesting. Her friends are nice enough to play a few times but they always lose to her because they don't have the game and she's good at it.
THe game is TOO SHORT. If you have the hang of it, like myself and my daughter (and you can get the hang of it in maybe 3 games) you will fly though the cards so fast the game will take less than minute.
The game is too repetitive. After you've got the hang of it, it is just more of the same over and over. You're not learning anything. It's not interactive or social because you have 100% of your attention on the cards.
I thought this game would be like the good old card games from childhood Speed or Spit [...] but those games are actually way more fun! Check them out!

We've had this game for 1 year. It is still fun, and is one of those games that you can play with younger kids, and they have equal chance of winning. It is great not to have to "dummy down" or play slow to give them a chance. Plus you can play for only 10-15 minutes if that is all you have time for.
Just great all-around fun for all ages 5+ September 9, 2008

What I love about this game is that it offers so many possibilities for a child to play/win that it is possible for an adult to actually play instead of hold back when playing against a child. Really a fun game and a great value (with no batteries!!)

This card game is fun for all ages. My six year old learned in just a few seconds.. but the mastery of speed takes a little longer. You must match the two discard piles by color, pattern or amount on your cards in your hand. You can keep up to 3 cards in your hand at a time and you have your own drawpile to pull from. The first one to play all their cards wins. I agree with someone else who suggested giving an adult more cards than the younger children to make it more fair. But with some practice, your children will be challenging the best of them! Lots of fun.. and as good for the brain as those crossword puzzles!

I bought this game for my son's sixth birthday. The game says it's for ages 7 and up but both my son and my 3 1/2 year old daughter are able to play it fine and they love it. It is a fast paced game where you have to match cards to a color, shape or number of shapes on the card. It gets their minds thinking quickly and in multiple dimensions. Ever since we got the game, the kids ask me to play it all the time. I highly recommend it. We haven't had this much fun with a card game since Uno! Note: for adults playing against their children, you can make it fair if you give yourself more cards than your child. That gives your child a chance to win.
