Column: Dust off those old board games and step away from the screens | NorthCountryNow

I found this a nice inspiration for those of us with kids and the little tradition this could spark which I think would be super healthy for the kids and also the relationship for when they are adults.

  • I think this is a great idea. However beware of what you are getting yourself into. I'm stuck playing UNO, Dobble and this mole dice game with my 3 year old daughter for hours on end. It doesn't get old for her but it is starting to get a bit stale after a few months of playing for me.

    • To be fair, that just describes about any activity with a toddler.

      • Is 3 years old still a toddler? Also from my experience she will lose interest in most other acitivies after 20 minutes at most.

    • Buy new games with increasing complexity until you find yourself enjoying the game.

      • That's the plan but the games we played are as much as she can handle and they are labeled 4 or 5 years and up. But time is on my side here. Overall I'm super happy that she enjoys boardgames and cardgames and in a few years we'll start to play games from my collection I'm sure. It's just. Have you ever played 2 hours of 1v1 UNO? It's something else.
