The recommended age seems to be set a bit higher than necessary, and younger children can easily learn the rules with a bit of help.Sean Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16429301144221551751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7384696295028916937.post-7626374008580481022011-12-15T06:25:29.098-08:002011-12-15T06:25:29.098-08:00I do not have any experience with playing games wi...I do not have any experience with playing games with a six year old, but we did start playing City of Thieves when Kay was only 8. <br /><br />It's still a blast to grab our gang and sack the city after night fall. The box says "10 and up" but I'd take it with a grain of salt, as the rules are simple enough.burnedhttp://thedelvers.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7384696295028916937.post-42874383554832320492011-12-14T11:06:11.838-08:002011-12-14T11:06:11.838-08:00Hi Professor; our whole family loves Carcassonne a...Hi Professor; our whole family loves Carcassonne and I expect that I'll be picking up one of the expansions soon. <br /><br />I think Magikus would be an ideal introductory Lego game for a four-year old.Sean Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16429301144221551751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7384696295028916937.post-16548484916428865892011-12-14T10:03:32.467-08:002011-12-14T10:03:32.467-08:00I love Carcassone.

With all the expansion sets available, it's easy to keep playing it every week!<br /><br />And it looks like Magikus would be a good intro Lego game for my 4YO.

Maybe combine the two with a few house rules to make more substantial RPG out of the mix.<br /><br />-Ed GreenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
