My primary motivation for doing so is to spend time and connect with my child. If she winds up picking up life skills like sportsmanship and strategic thinking or if she, god forbid, also becomes as big a board game nut as I am, that’d be great too!  The difficulty for board gaming parents is to find games that fit their child’s interests and, most importantly, their ability levels. 3-year olds aren ..read more
