Skillmatics Rapid Rumble - Fast-Paced Board Game for Kids, Teens & Adults, Fun for Family Game Night & Educational Toy, Quick-Thinking Card Game, Gift for Ages 6, 7, 8, 9 & Up

Got this for my son a year ago and it's still a favorite! He's now 8 and it's challenging but fun for him. Easy to play in groups and educational too! Basically you have a stack of letter cards, a category card gets played, and you have to think of things in that category with the letter cards you have. There are category cards for animals, science, culture, and things. Some are easier than others...some are really tricky even for myself! There's a timer so each round moves quicklyFirst person to use up all their letter cards wins. Easy to learn, fast and fun to play. Definitely recommend, great gift item!

We love playing this game as a family. Easy enough to play with the kids but still challenging for the grown ups.

Great game for kids

This is a great family game, but our youngest (1st grader) did get a little frustrated about coming up with words that worked with the letters he had. Culture seems to be the most difficult subject and when playing we might just take that deck out until he is older. Otherwise I super fun family game! Great learning opportunities as well!

I bought this game for my grandson who has very high energy and has difficulty in staying focused on a game. Rapid Rumble is fast paced and easy to learn and will enable him to remain focused while playing!!

Fun game for the entire family.

Overall a fun game, but age range seems off. Questions (especially in the Culture category) were too difficult for a 6 year old - which left him frustrated while others were having fun playing. The outer box was sealed, but on opening the box, it was clear that the game was used. There are cardboard cutouts for storing the cards - they were destroyed. The timer was dirty and clogged multiple times during game play. Fun concept for a game, but I wouldn’t recommend for younger children, and I would hesitate to give it as a gift - even if the outer box looks new - because condition of the interior was embarrassing.

I purchased this on recommendation of a homeschool mom. I love to add games as education when I can, but the kids don't want to have to memorize facts or be bombarded with "boring learning stuff". This game is so much fun! It is very easy to learn (less than 5 minutes) and can be very quick to play. At first I wasn't sure more than two people could play based on the instructions, but we quickly learned lots of people can play based on the number of cards in the deck. The more players the faster the game. The age stated on the box is from 6 to 99, but a six year old player must be a good reader to play this game. Adults can read the category cards to them which helps, but the game moves so quickly it will depend on how competitive everyone is on how much a 6 year old will enjoy. I would recommend 8-9 and up. Adults and kids both had tons of fun and the kids kept asking to play again and again. The 12 year old enjoyed reading all the random facts. A great purchase for fun and learning.
