    No, children that young will not appreciate it. I think the minimum age you could get away with is a mature 10 year old but I’d say you’d probably get more out of it by being a teenager upwards.

    Hi, Unfortunately 9 is too many players for a single game but yes of course we could split you into 2 groups to play. It's probably easier to give us a call to discuss the options and availability :)
