Funny Fairies & PJ Pirates
Unnecessarily identical games with an Orchard Toys vibe that are fine but extremely simple even for young kids.
Clank!: A Deck-Building Adventure
A brilliantly balanced deck-building dungeon crawl that blends smart risk-reward decisions, accessible gameplay, and real tension, making it just as enjoyable for families as it is for seasoned gamers.
In the Footsteps of Darwin
I bought this at UKGE last year and finally played it with my husband yesterday. We decided it was a bit too quick, simple and random for us BUT I realised it might be about the right level of challenge for my 7 year...

Twister
A classic, silly dexterity game that’s great fun in short bursts, but held back by age imbalance and a slippery, low-quality mat.
Snail Sprint
A standout “first hobby game” that introduces real decision-making and modern board game ideas in a fun, accessible way for young children.
Kariba
A fast, compact, and deceptively tactical card game that is easy for children to grasp while offering enough strategic depth to keep adults fully engaged.
Panda-monium
A fun mix of Happy Families and a kids Easter Egg Hunt.
Spy X Family: Mission for Peanuts
I really enjoy watching anime, but I have not actually watched a huge amount of it in recent years, largely because almost all of it is on Crunchyroll, and it is yet another subscription to add to my ever-expanding list...
Mamma Mia! Syndicate (Preview)
A fun prototype drafting/ order fulfilment game that I look forward to watching develop on Gamefound.
