TL'DR: its awesome! GET IT!
LONG VERSION: I backed Potato Pirates in the first few days of their kickstarter. Soon after the kickstarter closed I got confirmation that my package was on its way.
Shipping was quick. The quality of the cards is spot on. The little potato pirates are fuzzy lil fluff balls that may stick together; but we found it added to the charm. The game rules are straight forward and presented in such a way that my 6 year old, in grade one, was able to read them outloud and understand. He also proceeded to kick our butts!
My kids are 10 and 6 and both loved the game. They created complex loops and if/else statements to maximize their attacks in game. Later, their faces lit up when we explained that this is how computer programming works! We showed them python and scratch programming and they took to it like ducks to water!
The game in and of itself is a riot; but it delivers on its promise: you will learn basic concepts of programming in about 30 minutes. Concepts you can immediately apply to real world programming.
Potato Pirates is a brilliant gift tgat is ideal for those geeky families like ours ^_^ 11/10 I'm gonna order more to give as gifts to friends and family!
Pros:Quick, easy, fun, educational, 11/10 ^_^
Cons:NONE

I sponsored this product on Kickstarter and bought it to play with my computer student. I teach computers and echnology to udents ages 5 through 14. Students 8 through 14 adore the game, as do I. It's kind of hilarious and fun to play in a group and they are learning some basic programming and computational thinking. computation. After playing along with the younger students a couple of times, they are now able to play the game on their own.
Pros:Quick game play, silly, learning code by osmosis
Cons:Potatoes are floofy and easy to brush off table. Be careful.
