Everyone in our family and every guest that comes over loves to play this game. Some of the games are easy enough for my 3 year old to play, yet there are some even challenging enough for an adult. The only downfall is some games are not available in multiplayer mode if you are playing with more than 2 people. These are that games that 2 people would usually play in real life, so it makes sense, ut it would be nice to have incorporated it somehow.
What's great about it: Several games to play
What's not so great: Some games are limited to 2 players
