I should mention there are two versions of this game. The regular and the Riverboat edition.

I let four 5 year olds have at it and can only say that it was rather confusing for them, their favorite games were playing instruments and making the food extra spicy.. Also, if you have non readers, you will need to read the tutorials for the mini games till they get them figured out. There were some games they just couldn't figure out what they were supposed to be doing and it resulted in fits of giggles as they danced around the room flailing their arms about. I highly recommend the wrist straps be tightened down. All in all they had fun.

I will have to let the 7 and 8 year olds try it out this week and see how well it goes for that age group.
