Recent Kids Gaming
The Missus picked up Kerplunkt!, which both my kids have been playing. Sometimes they even play by the rules, sometimes they make up games. The made up games are interesting ... especially watching my daughter build a scoring system. She's taken the pinball machine route -- all points are multiples of hundreds. Inflation strikes early.
My son wants to play Fantasy Forest, a game that's really for older kids. As I've mentioned before, it's a suprisingly good game. Although it looses any strategy when your opponent can't count.
