Can a 5 year old play this?

Yes. My 4 year-old plays with lots of help. They have to be able to add to 10 to understand. 20 + 80= 100, 55+45=100, 85+15=100, 40+60=100, etc. The game itself is encouraging because it is so much fun to take another players card stack.

We love this game! But is there something similar higher level? More complex combinations or something like that?

Hello,If you are looking for a game with complex additions like 3 digit numbers + 2 digit numbers(Ex: 172+17), I suggest you use MOUNTAIN RAIDERS, the board game comes with numbers from 150 to 250 and a 20 faced dice number from 0 to 19. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B016D3RV8QSimilarly for lower level (2 digit + 1 digit), you can use OCEAN RAIDERS, Link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MDFYCBS

I see mostly younger kids enjoying this game in the reviews. Would middle/high school aged kids like it and benefit as well?

My teenage daughter plays it. However, it is not one she would play with kids her own age. As a family with multiple age groups it is fun. It is still to much for my seven year old.

Why is there a bank? I don't understand when players draw from the bank.

"The Bank is the pile of cards placed in the center. It is for players to draw from after a round of stealing is finished. After players draw a card, a new round of stacking and stealing can begin."
