I'm a dad who plays board games with his 10yo son. My preference is for medium-heavy hard thinking games, and my son likes random Take That! games. I don't like to force my preferences on him, but I also don't want to play his games all the time. I also game with my 5 year old nephew quite a bit, which can be a challenge - at least he likes Cartagena.
My girlfriend Scrabblette is learning how to play games and she's much better at it than she thinks.
Now, before Aldie and Derk start calling me and asking a heap of questions, I'd just like to give them what they're after.
