Wow... sorry it too me so long to get back to this thread...
THANK YOU THANK YOU for all the wonderful discussion a few months back
on this topic... although we went radio silent, everything you guys
talked about here was VERY VERY informative - and helped Andy write
up awesome rules variations for preschoolers in the new edition.
Check out an image of the rules sheet here:

special thanks to: 'Becca Stalings, David Millians, Lydia and Sharon
Ritchie,
Kimberly Terrill, Bill Reed, Juanpablo Amado, and Ruth Wunderlich.
I would love to send each of you a free copy of the new edition in thanks
for your help with these preschooler rules - just reply to me privately
with your address and we will pop one in the mail to you.
In closing check out this AWESOME review for the game... which includes
