Yes, just different colors
Yes they are. I recently purchased and the kit has everything you need to play. Some of the games have you copy pages included in the manual.
Yes, this covers Levels A - F. For example, fractions, decimals, and percents are included. It is possible you could purchase some items separately since you won’t need the money or clock cards but I believe this is still more cost effective.
Yes, I've used them for students in the middle grades, not only those who don't like math, but students who liked math but didn't understand a certain concept. I"ve used them all the way up to a student in grade 10 who needed work on a specific area of math because of gaps in her learning. The cards appeal to any age, since they are so simple, and the suggested games in the book have a lot of thought and creativity behind them.
The 5th edition has over 300 games, the kit comes with 6 decks of cards: basic number cards, corner cards, multiplication cards, clock cards, money cards, fraction cards. And here is a Note For The Fifth Edition: the first chapter has been rewritten and renamed Number Sense. In the other chapters, games have occasionally been added. Because the game numbers in these chapters are referenced in the RightStart Mathematics curriculum, the new games are numbered with a dot followed by a number. For example, the new game, C9.1, follows C9.
Unfortunately I am not familiar with the forth edition.

I have a friend who bought this kit and showed it to me. We also played some of the games with our kids. I think this is a fantastic way to practice math via games. I am really looking forward to…
I have a Masters in Education. This is by far the best math curriculum on the market.
I purchased this math card game kit to help reinforce memorization of math facts and other concepts taught in a fun way.
