Tanks is a great place for kids to start, especially considering how easy it is to set up a 1v1 tank fight to get the basics learned. 8-10 it's a tough agree range to target because their interests and ability can vary so broadly, individual to individual, but if they can track variables at their most basic, they can play tanks.

I think this is a perfect intro game for kids, but man...it is great for experienced gamers too! Gaming fun, historical flavor and plays quickly for those of us who don't have lots of gaming time!

If I were to demo this to kids, I would opt for pretty 3D terrain items and cheap tank models that can take a beating. Hook them with the visuals and don't sweat the kids handling the minis.

I think you can teach him the way to play with the tank in order to he knows Know how to play properly.

My 11 year old and my 15 year old both love the game, and have started buying their own models. Almost every time I an at the FLGS with my Tanks models, I have a few of the card player kids, usually ranging between 10 and 19 years of age over at my table asking all sorts of questions.

So yes, I think Tanks is an amazing game for kids, especially when they start asking questions about how historically accurate some of the scenarios are.
