My First Stone Age Board Game

Great intro to strategy for kids. We already love Carcassonne Junior so this seemed a great idea. We have over 20 board games and I play them often with my now 6 year old as part of his homeschool day. Its amazing what kids learn playing games (pictionary was the catalyst to read, Skipbo for number sequencing, and many others). We received this one (my son actually chose to buy it out of money he earned) just as we were covering nomads and early farmers in our Ancient history text (The Story of the World Volume 1: Ancient Times). The timing was perfect as we had discussions about all the resources. I could tell he was internalizing the information in a way he would not with just the text, workbook, and even a video we had added. Great supplement and fun too! I will say that this game will probably only be fun for a couple of years before he will be ready to play the adult version labled 13 and up. For now we are very pleased. The price was steep for a board game, but it is very high quality and we can sell it when we are done to another homeschool family. Before we ordered it, we watched a great review of the game on the dice towet on you tube so we knew what we were getting.

Great purchase! Fun game to play with my grandson. It has just enough complexity to make it engaging and fun for my five year-old. The game are short - 15-20 minutes - and fun for the adults, too. Well constructed, nice wooden pieces, great artwork. A happy find.

Bought as a Christmas present for our 5 year old. Game style was a race to the finish type game. It was easy to learn, and the game mostly relied on luck, so there was minimal strategy involved (we liked this for him because strategy can sometimes be frustrating to him/hard to independently grasp at this age). Pieces were big, easy to grasp for his little hands, and the artwork was well done and engaging for him. Game play was about 15 minutes, just as described on the box. Overall a good game for a 5 year old to be able to play fairly independently. One star off, however, because I imagine he will grow out of this game fairly quickly, and it is not a board game that would hold the attention of our 8 year old, so not a great family game night board game.

This is my preschoolers favorite game. Great introduction to resource management. Nice big manipulatives. He's three and was able to understand how to play before he could put together a full sentence. At the same time I think it's far better than most preschooler games that I usually feel like I have to suffer through. ( I can't stand dexterity games) Big brothers are happy to play it with him when he lets them. Neighbor kids from non-gamer families seem happy with it up to 8 yrs old.

This is closer to a memory game than a strategic one. But it’s very easy to learn and play. If you’re looking for a game to play with young kids this is gold.

This is a great game to share with our child since we are fans of Stone Age! It was quick to learn and we LOVE the dog tile.

We have the full Stong Age as well and love it. This junior version is equally fun. My 5 year old caught on right away, and the adults enjoy it just as much. We did make one modification. Everyone remembered where the "build" token was placed and tracked it even when moved according to the game rules. Instead, we now shuffle all action tokens after someone builds to make the game more challenging/fun.

As an avid board gamer I was looking for something that will introduce my young 5 year old into the hobby and this game really fits the bill. Great for kids and adults. The game touches on a lot basic concepts that more advanced games use, like memory, resource management and planning, so it works very well as a "primer" for young children. The rules are fairly simple, setup is fast and the quality of the pieces is very high for this type of game. It might not be the best game for long sessions as young players may get bored after 2 or 3 games but it's a nice game to play if you plan on kicking off an evening of board gaming and move on to something else afterwards. This is one of the few kid's games I've bought that sits on the "adult" game shelf simply because of the fun and quality of the components. I really can't praise that quality enough: wooden "meeples", (very) thick card stock, sturdy box for storage; it's all here. If you have young board gamer's in your family buy this game because it's an excellent "starting point".

Purchased this for grandchildren ages 7 and 9. Even the 4 year-old could play if teamed up with grandma or grandpa. We enjoyed multiple games over the Christmas holidays. Games last 15-30 minutes with no one getting bored. Players can learn strategy for acquiring the items necessary to build a settlement. There is also a memory game component. Fun for kids and adults!

If you have kids. This is the game you want. So much fun for the younger kids. We have stoneage and my boys love it. But it is a longer game. Thos game is quick and very simple to play but creates alot of laughs. So worth purchasing for my boys.

Delivery time was longer than expected but the game was in perfect condition and we love playing it, ages 6 up are enjoying it. so far we have played every day! Very well designed game for the family. Keeps you interested and engaged. Highly reccomend it. Price on amazon was better than high street. The pieces in this game are nicely designed and large for small hands. Play time is short around ten minutes. We have added in our own twist where when the build coin is turned over instead of just switching two coins as per the rules we reshuffle all coins so no one has an idea where the build coin is. Love this game, will get adult version at some stage.

Great game for kids. Ours are a few months shy of 5 years old and understood the game after one go. They love it!

This is more like a memory game in my opinion but still a big hit with the 5 year olds :)
