Our family loves Days of Wonder games. I wanted to know what those of you who have played several games of Mystery Express think of the age level for the game. I have 3 children (17, 15 and 9). We play Shadows, Pirates Cove, Mystery of the Abby and Ticket to Ride. My 15 year old Son and I play a lot of Memoir '44. What do you think about Mystery Express for 9 year olds? She enjoys Shadows, but we can take a break from that for a few hours and finish later. It doesn't sound like you can take a break from Mystery Express.
Thank you,
Scott

This question was asked a long time ago, so I'm not sure you still need an answer, but I'll provide one just in case you're still wondering!
Mystery Express is a very cerebral game and is probably too advanced for a 9 year old. You might be able to make it work and if your daughter is an advanced board game player she might enjoy the challenge, but generally I would say it is too hard for anybody below 12 years old. It's a great game, and you might decide to get it for the older members of your family...
If you're looking for a fun DoW game that could work for everyone, I would suggest Cargo Noir! It's a lot of fun and it quite a bit easier to figure out.

I'm glad to help! If you get Cargo Noir, let us know how your 9 year old likes it.
