Better games for niblings (hexbear.net)

I absolutely bodied my nephew in “hi-ho cherry-o” the other day (his first loss I think) and he lost it. Anyway I’m getting a bunch of cooperative board games for various niblings and it’s awesome how many options there are; the old board games (eg hi-ho cherry-o) are just random, no wonder they’re frustrating for a kid. Plus how much better is it to learn that you can cooperate with others! Going to check out my local shop for recommendations but was thinking of getting them started with something like 5-minute dungeon, forbidden island, or castle panic. V excited

I like Camel Up with my nephews. They're far below the age of reason, but they like the camels and the pyramid dice rolling. Sometimes we bet on the camels, but most of the time they're not interested in that so we just pick a camel to win. I'm waiting for the day that they can handle Quacks of Quedlinburg but there's a lot more going on in that one.
