What an awesome list! Thank you! Caleb is too obsessed w/ Pokeman right now to consider other games buts it’s good to have a list for when he’s ready to move on.

One game Indidnt see and it may just be last year for y’all but we really live it so maybe others will like it is Pirate Cove by Days of Wonder. Very similar to Ticket to ride in that you accumulate points along the way, which we like as we’re a very competitive family. Your actions as a Pirate lead to glory and fame and that leads to treasure and points. We like the dice battles (ala Risk) quite a bit. Because of the direct battling I think we like it more than Ticket.

I’d love to get the family centered on a collaborative game. Which is the best entry in that genre?

Thanks again for sharing.
