Our family of four brought and learned Koi Pond on vacation, and it's given us great hours of family time. The kids, 11 and 12, have no trouble playing and strategizing, in fact the 11 year old has won more games than anyone. We've played with two, three, and four players and found the game to be fun in each case. Totally worth the price, in fact we're seriously considering buying the rest of the available Koi Pond card expansions. A solid five stars from our family.
