We read about this board game from a book about kids with ADHD. We've always felt our daughter will perhaps one day receive that diagnosis and this was recommended to work on some executive functioning skills. It definitely is a strategy based game and requires a lot of concentration, planning, and focus, but it was a fun kind of challenge and one that our daughter was excited to take on! At first, it seemed to complicated for her, and she got frustrated, but within a few days she was addicted and wanted to bring the game to school for game day!

One thing I will say is that you should definitely take their age recommendations to heart- it seemed challenging for kids younger than 7 from what we've experienced, but maybe your more advanced, puzzle liking, younger kids will find it to be entertaining and not too frustrating.

Great family game and our kids' school liked it too!
