I bought this game for my daughter when she was around 5. We played it everyday for years. She is 14 and still loves it. She taught all of her friends to play. Last year for Christmas I got her the Collector's Edition. We have many Gamewright games but this and Frog Juice are our favorites.

My 6 year-old daughter, who is about to enter First Grade, loves this game. I taught it to her in about 10 minutes and she probably beats me 4 out of 5 times.
I'm 36 and I honestly enjoy playing it. It's a great strategy game that has enormous educational value for beginning math skills. She completely understands the concepts and does all her own scoring. She says she loves it because it's challenging. I'm sure she also likes it because she regularly beats dad. I like it because it's a legitimately fun card game to play with my six year-old daughter.
I also have a preschooler. This game is conceptually and mathematically well beyond her. In fact, we haven't even introduced it to her. The game is 6+ unless you've got a gifted 5 year-old. If you're looking for a great preschooler card game, try Sleeping Queens.

My son got this game for his 5th birthday and we have played it at least twice a week for the past year. Because the strategy is being able to memorize card placement, when he wins the game with his dad or me, he really wins it - we aren't losing on purpose! It's definitely a confidence builder. Each round is fairly fast, so you can get in two or three rounds in 15 minutes. Besides memory, it helps with number recognition and math skills.

This is a great card game for the whole family. Children learn to memorize, think strategically and develop math skills while playing a game that parents can enjoy too!

This is so far our favorite gamewright game for our family. It took a little while for our 5 year old to learn the game, but he can now play on his own and has been known to win, Really annoys our 13 year old. This is some strategy involved in this game. you can easily play two people or 6 people. We have 5 in our family. It is nice to have a game that we can all play at one time and it isn't as time consuming as monopoly.
Each player is dealt 4 cards face down.
You line up the cards in front of you face down.
you are allowed to look at the two cards on the end, but not the cards in the middle.
you take turns drawing a card from the pile in the middle(which is face down) or picking the card on the top of the discard pile(which is face up. You try to exchange your higher numbered cards for lower numbers. You try to get all four cards as low as possible (0 to 9) and then you shout out Rat a 'tat CAt. Everyone gets one more chance and then you add up the points. A score keeper records adds up the points for each player.
The object of the game is to get the lowest number of points by adding up all 4 cards at the end of the round. We ussually play to 50 or 100 points, as people get to 50 points they would be out of the game. Each time there is a round the dealer shuffles the entire deck and passes out 4 more cards per player. Each person gets a turn to deal.
There are peek cards, allowing you to peek at a card that you may not now.
There are draw 2 cards, giving you two chances to get a low number card, If you don't want the card you draw you just place it face up on the discard pile.
There are swap cards, allowing you to swap a card with another player, so paying attention is important.
All 4 cards are always kept face down. You can only look at the two end cards before play begins, and you can look at the card you draw just that one time. After that no peeking allowed, so you have to try to remember what is infront of you and sometimes you have to take a chance on the two middle cards, since you don't now what those cards are unless you get a peek card or you just risk it and discard the card.
It isn't as complicated as it sounds, but it did take a while for our 5 year old to beable to play without a partner.
Our kids beg to play this game with us.
Cards could be made better, they aren't very well laminated.
