I shop on line for products a great deal before I go to the store. This game was purchased as a birthday gift for my 6-year old great nephew, who loves Sponge Bob. He is at the right age to begin to learn the skills the game requires, and he can enjoy the game for years to come. Wal-mart was the only convenient store that had the game in stock, which I was able to confirm on line. The game is a little pricey, but not exhorbitantly so. It was a definite hit with the birthday boy and older guests as well (various aged adults were also there).
