I have been trying to get my 4 year old into board games. I grew up on snakes and ladder, ludo and later monopoly. That hasn't piqued my little ones interest at all.
Here is what worked .. my first castle panic .. this was super simple and got her engaged. There was another simple game called kraken attack that had cool looking pieces and got her engaged. Finally, we play a randomish game with the agricola board and kingdomino. Moral of the story is relax, bend the rules, teach simple things like turn taking, post-game clean up, and have fun!
- dimitropoulos 6y agoThanks for the suggestion on My First Castle Panic! Just grabbed it - looks great! And I couldn't agree more on the "relax, bend the rules" side of things. It's all about fun.
- brutus1213 6y agoGood luck. Two other suggestions for that age group that we found worked: Animal upon Animal (kinda expensive for the simple pieces you get but it felt so much fun, the wife joined in me and the daughter play!) and S.O.S Dino (gorgeous pieces and educational concept; my kid lost interest for some reason I could not understand; game was super interesting and simple)
