We Got Game!

Everyone in our house now enjoys fun, complicated games like Settlers of Catan:

And even Talisman:

The latter is (obviously! Look at all those pieces!) fairly complicated, not to mention a whole whack of math and reading fun. It has a large battling element (think Dungeons and Dragons) which is *exactly* what Finn looks for in a game.

I am the reigning Catan champion, but Larkin won her first (epic, 5 hour) game of Talisman courtesy of casting a lucky spell in a crash ending.

Finn was adoringly examining the Talisman box after our game and was horrified to discover that it is for ages 12 and up: "Good thing we don't play by the rules at our house!"
