It would be foolish to repeat the game instructions here, which is already in the product description. The question in a game is not, according to what rules you would perform, but if it is able to captivate and if the game continues. We have Ubongo given three girls (8, 10 and 11 years old) and were there when it was unpacked, set up and played. Obviously, everything was well understood by children, even the smallest of the three players got to grips. While the adults enjoyed coffee, cake and conversation, the children were busy with the game - and that over a period of more than one hour. Boredom or frustration did not come on, but the fun stopped, finally starting again and again - each round must be pushed over. Who had lost could therefore be quite fast in the next round, the beaming winner. The girls took the game inspired home ... now we hear from parents that it continues to be like taken off the shelf and play. My conclusion: Easy enough for children and still full of variety. Thumbs up.
