It's really 2-5 players, but there is a solo variant here. It's extremely simple to set up and take apart, as long as you take the time to separate the punches/vulnerabilities as well as kicks and super villains out of your deck at the end.http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/895451/solo-variant-first-at...
I enjoyed the solo play myself, it's a nice challenge trying to defeat all 12 super villains within 20 turns. If you do win, there's the extra bonus of trying to beat your last high score. As for can a 5 year old handle it? I'm not sure, it depends on how the 5-year old would respond to a deck-building game like this. With some help , I think it's entirely possible, though he/she may not grasp the strategies needed to beat all the super villains until quite a few plays.
