TrustAndLove Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) DD8 loves MasterMind and Prime Climb. Those games are getting easy now as she plays often. She asks for a new game for Christmas. Is there any recommendation for the games for up elementary school kids? We do have chess and I try to avoid computer games. For parents who are looking for games for younger kids. Here is a list of favorites: - Blockus - All most everything from ThinkFun: GravityMaze, Rush hour etc - poker cards - MasterMind - Prime Climb - snake and ladder - Monopoly Edited November 30, 2017 by TrustAndLove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Evolution, Ticket to Ride, and New York 1901 are all great choices - each has nice presentation, well made pieces, and nicely thought out game development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Well, if you have chess and like chess, you might try Go. Otherwise, I'm a fan of: Hive Ticket to Ride Carcassonne Carcassonne: South Seas (completely different game) Bohnanza Forbidden Desert Qwirkle Tsuro You might try asking at Boardgamegeek - they always have good suggestions.

Kiara.I Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 The magic labyrinth My kids really like Splendor. Does she like chess? If so, check out the Gipf series, although I would leave Gipf itself for later. Yinsh or Zertz might be fun.

TrustAndLove Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Yes, she enjoys the labyrinth too! My brain usually turns into a mush after 7pm so I have to learn some new strategy to play better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I'd recommend Equate which will stretch her brain; my husband plays it with his math tutoring students. Here is a link to the Conceptual Math Media Equate Advanced Tiles that you can add when she's more advanced in math. SET Quarto You might also take a look at the Logic Links boxed set of puzzles from MindWare. That link is here. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
