This is a good game because it makes you think and strategise - like chess without the history. The 3D element literally brings a new dimension to a fairly familiar format (taking opponent's pieces and being the last man standing) but this game is so much more than the familiar. I love it. My nine year old niece and I played and it she thought it was great - quite something coming from one who can't sit still for more than 3 minutes at a time. Tri it (sorry) - you won't be disappointed.
