I got this game to play with my 4-year-old son, and we love it. The game play is pretty simple, but there is just a touch of strategy that makes it fun for all of us. The construction of the game is fantastic as well - the cards are thick and sturdy, the score sheets are in a nice little notepad, and the rules are in a hardbound book complete with back stories for all of the monsters. All of it fits nicely into a very sturdy box with magnetic closure - no cheap cardboard collapsing under the weight of our other games. I'd highly recommend this for younger kids who love games and love gross stuff, and anticipate we'll get lots of fun out of this over the next few years.UPDATE: almost 4 years later, and this game is still going strong in our house! The gameplay is simple, but there's just enough strategy to keep my now 7-year-old happy and wanting to play. Plus, my instinct on the construction was right on, the game is holding up great, hardly showing any signs of wear. Love it!

The only drawback to this awesome card game is that only four people can play.The cards require no reading, but the game is full of strategy.You open a house and anyone can add things to it, items that monsters like, such as filthy pillows, rotten vegetables, mutant two-headed dead fish, piles of poop, french fry grease, that sort of thing. If it's your turn and one of the monsters in your hand sees the item he likes, you can place it on that house and claim it.Scoring comes at the end of the round when each item in a closed house is worth five points to you. Over the course of the game if you get to a hundred points, you win.Watch out, somebody might get King Stink and swipe your hefty house, or you can use one of the three King Stinks to protect it.This game is lots of screaming, disgusting fun. If you want to know more about the monsters, the book has a two-page story for each. (Artwork is cool!)Everyone I've shared this with has loved it, ages 5 to 49 so far.The card game called Poo is a good one if you like Ick!, and Ick! doesn't have all that reading for the players during the game.

This is the most imaginative game I have played in a while.The game play is very, very well thought out and quite engaging!The gross element is really quite funny.This is a game you will want to take to parties,but you will need an extra deck if you want to play with more than 4 players.Don't be afraid to buy this card game used.The game is well made and sturdy.

Let's face it Icky stuff appeals to most kids, and this card game is sure to keep them entertained. It comes in a very nice magnetically closed box to keep all the Ick inside. It contains the wonderful cards, a hardbound instruction book with little stories about each of the imaginative characters, and even a little pad for keeping score. Sure to keep them from making messes for a while.

A game my 5 year old and 11 year old both love!
