This game is great for family get-togethers. My 8 year old learned it within minutes. I think my 5 year old could too. As few as two and as many as six people can play, more with add-on sets. If someone wants to stop, everyone else can keep playing. It is good for people of different ages and intellectual abilities, since it is mostly a game of chance. It requires little concentration. And yet it's entertaining as well. Since I prefer games of strategy or knowledge, it wouldn't be my first choice in every situation, but over the holidays or for families with children of varying ages it was perfect. We played Blocko as well, which is a fun game and easy to learn, but some family members don't take competition all that well, so it caused a little too much tension. We abandoned it in favor of Spinner, and everyone was happy after that. I liked it well enough to buy my own set.
