This was one of the favorite games of Christmas. My nine-year old likes playing it over and over again to see different outcomes and to use different spending and saving strategies. Because of the combination of skill and luck, different aged kids can play on a pretty level playing field. My 9 year-old and my 11 year-old like playing it together. We also gave a copy to our son's teacher who is excited about using it in her classroom during academic enrichment time. The game plays pretty quickly and does not require a lot of explanation, yet gets basic money management skills across in a fun way. Aristoplay makes great games!

This game is great for teaching money exchange values. I have seen my eight year old really increase his skills. (I'd love to see the same thing come out with coins). We have played it several times a week for 2 months and are still not bored with it.

It's hard to teach kids about money. This game not only teaches them how to make change, but it also gives them a lesson about spending money on the essentials of life and the importance of saving. All of this in one easy to learn quick game. Buy this one!!!!!

This is a game our son pulls out and asks us to play with him. And, even better, it is a game we like playing, too. We got Moneywise Kids when our oldest child was a first grader. He could already count money, but this game helped him solidify his skills painlessly. What we really liked was the playing option that teaches money management. Players must plan for clothes, food, transportation, housing, etc. Our son will argue with us over our choices, telling us what is most important to pay for next, such as food or clothing. When he plays with his sisters, we overhear him advising them on their choices, too. In this game children have a decent chance of beating adults, which makes them happy to play again. Moneywise Kids is an enjoyable, quiet game with few pieces.

We bought this when our son was six. He's now seven. He really enjoys playing this game. The skill of money conversion is obviously something he can take with him into real life. I also use the opportunity while playing the game to have mini discussions with him regarding the expenditures the game approaches - that we actually have those expenditures in real life and that it's important to save money and be able to pay for them.

I purchased this game for my children but enjoy it so much we are using it in my classroom.

I got this for my child when he was 6 1/2 and he mastered it easily. He is very into money and has been for a long time, so I thought this would be a good game for him. We played it a few times, but I don't think he learned much, because he already knew how to count money. It would be good for younger kids who haven't gotten the whole money concept down.

Moneywise Kids was the first item my daughter (8 yrs. old) wanted to play with, once her birthday party was over - that should speak for itself!

I read many good reviews about this game and bought it for my children, 6, 8. My 8 year old played once and found boring. I insisted to play another time, both of us did not like it. I found no point to let my 6 year old try it. I am sure she won't like it. I regret to have bought it.

One of our favorites from Aristoplay. The kids played 3 games in a row off the bat, and they really learned some money counting skills.
