We played this game with our children ages 11, 9 & 7 to introduce them to the Settlers of Catan games. We had a lot of fun playing together. My older children will be ready to move on to Settlers of Catan after a few games of Catan Jr. It worked great as a way to introduce this type of games to children. The game and pieces are durable.
Not only were all of the intricate pieces here and in good shape, but they were nicely organized in little baggies that my students continue to use. You can't know how many fights you have saved in my 6th grade classroom now that I have two copies of the game!
