As part of my rediscovery of my hobby and in relation to one of my objectives that I’d posted previously one of the things I want to do is introduce my daughter to tabletop games.
She’s about to turn 7 as I write this and tabletop games are nothing new to her having been surrounded by my hobby for all of her life and of course she was part of what led to the end of the 1st Chapter.
To help in my attempts to introduce her to games I have over the past few years bought some games appropriate for younger gamers.
Catan Junior – The parent version of this game is seen by many people as the gateway game for the board game hobby. I don’t necessarily share that opinion but I do see why it has that reputation. That aside the game is a great introduction to the hobby as a whole and I plan to play it with my wife and daughter soon.
Hey That’s My Fish – It’s a game about penguins trying to catch as many fish as they can before the ice falls apart below their feet. We’ve played this a few times, actually played might be too strong a term. The structured play (albeit limited) is something that my daughter hadn’t quite grasped when we played it previously. I plan to re-try the game now that she’s a bit older (she was 5 when we tried it before so definitely a bit young).
