Player 3 – Geister Geister Schatzsuchmeister!
Here’s a game that was built for kids. Now I don’t usually recommend playing children’s games with your own Player 3 at home. However this one had great reviews and it won the Kinderspiel des Jahres in 2014. So I was super excited to try it out. As well as equally sad that it wasn’t printed in the U.S. So began my quest to (more…)

Player 3 – Armadöra
This is a game that I picked up from the Barnes & Noble red dot sale. It was a mystery game for me and I had no idea what I was delving into but how could you not roll the dice on a $10 game? Set up doesn’t (more…)

Player 3 – Greedy Greedy Goblins
Originally this game wasn’t on my radar until I went into my Friendly Local Game Store and saw a demo in progress. Obviously at that point I couldn’t help stopping to play a game, to see what all the fuss was about and afterwards I did as any board game addicted parent would do. I immediately (more…)

Teaching Board Games to our Youth (Part 1)
I’m assuming that by your interest in this article, most of you already have your own home-brewed Player 3? Maybe even a fourth or fifth little spawn to fulfill all those board game requirements? At least that was my plan until (more…)

Player 3 – Rumble in the Dungeon
This is a game I had wanted to try for a while but I was reluctant to purchase it because I wasn’t sure if I would play it on a regular basis. However I was able to pick it up for a reduced price at the Barnes & Noble Red Dot Sale and I have to say it (more…)

Your Child Can Play Any Game
Lately I’ve gotten a lot of questions about my child playing board games at such a young age. I hear a lot of people saying “my kid runs off with all the pieces” or “my child is too hyper to play” and “they get frustrated too easily”. Which are all valid concerns and completely normal for children when they’re starting out.
My child didn’t come out of the womb with a pair of D6 and comprehensive instruction booklet. Like any normal kid she pretty much tears through the house like a giant ferret on crack but if you take a little time and effort to cultivate the necessary skills; your kid can play any board game. So before you start the process, as a family you need to sit down and decided what age your child’s gaming experience will start. Ours started at 2 years old and I’m sure you’re asking me “why such a young age?”. Our goal wasn’t to make a gaming minion (well actually, it kind of was a requirement we needed to fill for all 3 player games) but it was the age she started to show interest in gaming and that’s the most important indicator on when to start. Now that you’ve decided if your child is interested in gaming, what’s next? (more…)

Games My 5 Year Old Dominates
After writing the Top 8 Board Games for Children with Gaming Parents I realized there’s not a lot of information or games out there for children under seven. So I was happy to pass along the word and hear some great suggestions from my readers. However what I didn’t do was highlight my child’s favorite and most competitive games.
So without further delay here are some board games that my child will dominate you in.
Takenoko
It was no surprise when I asked my daughter what were her favorite games were, this was at the top of her list. She started playing Takenoko at a pretty young age and as a toddler the concepts were easy for her to understand. Pandas eat, gardeners grow and match the tiles to the cards. Although this year was the first year the panda no longer wandered the pastures. Instead she plays each game with strategy and focus; easily pulling out a win on any new gamer at the table.
Edited Rules: When she first started playing this game I would give her one objective card to focus on at a time. This would help her realize the cause and effects of her choices during the game and how she should choose certain tasks to help complete different objectives.
Age my Child Played: 3, Recommended Age: 8+
Skills Requires: Not putting pieces in their mouth. Skills Acquired: Learned how to multi task in a game and create a strategy. (more…)
