(More customer reviews)The previous reviewer misunderstood the rules, which is probably part of why she doesn't enjoy the game. You're collecting not one of each card, but a whole set of either four cards the same, or four cards all different (so there's a little more strategy there). Also, players take turns "blocking" one room from being collectable, which, again, adds a bit more strategy.
However, this is not a game that's good with only two or three players - you need four or five to have any challenge. And it's also not a game that's good with older players. I think the 6+ age rating is well off, a better age rating would probably be from age 4 - 6, with maybe some seven year olds who were unfamiliar with card games, or as a filler game played once in a while rather than very often. (Indeed, my two nieces ask for it often, but they're aged 3 and 5!)
There's nothing wrong with that, it's good to have games for younger children, but if you're buying this game for a kid in the second or third grade, you need to pick something else that'll hold their interest better. Try Sleeping Queens or Rat-a-tat-cat instead. Or, if you like the "slapping cards" mechanism, go for a a game like Bugs, Beans, and Birds.
I've rated this at 5 stars *for the correct age group*.

Ah, to see the world through the eyes of a kitten... That's the inspiration behind Pounce! From the fast-action game play to the variety of visual perspectives captured in the card art, we hope you'll get a small taste of what it's like to be a young feline on the prowl. As you pounce around the house, you'll refine hand-eye coordination as well as learn some quick decision-making skills. A quick word about Bruno the Bulldog: Though he may look intimidating, he takes a long nap in the afternoon - so that's probably the best time to play! 2-5 players. Playing time about 15 minutes.
