Did the game yesterday and received the same time played a round together with our children (3 and 5 years old). Both were heavily thrilled to build Tents and cars with "this and that" like popcorn and lemonade. Also for our little son (3 years) the gameplay was fast to understand and playable with some help without problems. It's a nice introduction to the great Settlers of Catan family.
Can only recommend the version Settlers of Catan Junior Madagascar.
