  • Fun and Educational Game
I recently played the Entrepreneurship and Business Strategy Game with my 9-year-old daughter, and we had a blast! It took us about 45 minutes to set up and get through the rules, but now that we’re familiar with it, the game runs smoothly and takes a much shorter amount of time to start. The game involves trading cards and tiles to build a pyramid and requires some strategic thinking, which is a step up from simpler games like The Game of Life. The game is not only fun but also educational. It’s a great way for kids to practice money handling and basic math skills while having a good time. The instructions are clear, and the game pieces are well-made and organized in the box, making setup and cleanup easy. It’s a fantastic choice for family game nights or gatherings with friends. I’d highly recommend it for anyone looking to mix fun with learning valuable life skills! ... show more

  • Keeps them on their toes
Our 7 and 8 year old had a blast with this. It’s unlike any other board game we have, but in a sense it’s a little like Monopoly, but not as endless. It has the same banking type system as Monopoly, but doesn’t take as long and it’s about starting businesses vs. buying/selling properties. It definitely got them to think differently than any game we already have, so this is definitely worth it for curious kids. It says 7+, but the younger end of the spectrum will likely need adult guidance (as in, playing the game with them), at least the first few times they play. ... show more

  • Fun game, good for learning about money (simple math)
My 12yr old daughter and I liked this game. It took us about 45 mins from when we opened the box until we finished the game, setup, learning rules, and all. Now that we know how to play, it would probably take an average of about 30 mins, just like the listing states. My daughter mentioned to me that she thinks it would be a bit to hard for any children younger than about 10, but I think kids around 8-9 would get the hang of it with their parents guiding them through the steps. Basically, you trade money for a card. Then you trade cards for a tile. The purpose of the game is to get 6 tiles to fill your pyramid, but you only win once your pyramid is filled, AND if you have $3,000. So there are a few different steps for each turn, and it does take a little strategizing. But it's fun. It's more complicated than The Game of Life, but did involve the banker aspect, which I think is great for kids to practice money handling and use simple adding and subtraction skills. Overall, a fun game for 2-4 players. ... show more

  • great to introduce business
My kid is already showing some entrepreneurial spirit, so it was great to be able to get this game. Our family owns a small business so we appreciate anything that can teach kids about handling money and strategy. The game pieces are colorful and really engaging for kids. And the gameplay itself is a perfect blend of simple concepts with just enough complexity to keep it interesting. Even though it's recommended for ages 8+, our 6yo picked it up quickly with a little help from us. We're already planning family game nights centered around this one. I think it's a nice blend of education and entertainment. Kudos to Skillmatics for creating something that the whole family can enjoy! ... show more

  • A Hit with the Whole Family!
We’re a big board game family, playing at least 1-2 games every day, and this one was a fantastic addition to our collection. My 8-year-old absolutely loved it—he won his very first game against his older brothers (ages 10 and 12) and even managed to pull off a monopoly! He was over the moon with his victory. The game was a hit with all the kids, and they’re already excited to try other games from this company. It’s a fun and engaging game that kept everyone entertained, and we’re giving it a solid 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommend for any family that loves board games! ... show more

  • 3.5 Stars
This is a fun game for the family. We played with our 6 year old grandaughter and with a little help she did great. This is a bit like the shark tank game, but different. I do like the pieces and how it is designed. It is a fun game and I am sure we will play many times.
