Patchwork was played 59 times and is my most played by a large margin. Most of those plays have been on bga, but 40% in person. I play it against myself too, very relaxing, like other people build puzzles, i would assume

Yes, my son started at 5 1/2 but you could go lower, since it is coop, you play with the children and can help them. It‘s also a good entry to counting. Dice roll + weapon strength etc.

My favourite is final girl, the horror/slasher theme really fits the luck of a dice game, i think it is one of the most immersive board games ever. Another good, albeit completely different game, is resist, which is a game about the spanish resistance trying to intervene with military operations

I do the same and if anything does not make sense to me in the flow and the game is not new, i‘ll ask chatgpt for clarifications

On the lighter side i would suggest king of the dice as a yahtzee+ game, or port royal. A little mire involved and a great game is rajas of the ganges - the dice charmers (roll & write with good decisions)

My recommendations would be karak as an introduction to dungeon crawlers, ice cool for dexterity, stone age junior for the memory advantage of kids and king domino as the next step

Dune: Imperium is my current favourite game and i am preparing to teach it on friday, so a couple of solo games have happened this week. Besides that Marvel:United and Karak with my son and the new implementation of Challengers on bga
