My son’s 5th birthday is coming up and I would like to gift him a board game. Usually only the two of us play and he likes for example Carcassonne Junior, Brandon the Nrave or Karuba Junior. Any good suggestions for a new game, maybe also something collaborative?

    Dragonomino is a kid version of King Domino. I just bought it for my kid based on a review. I haven’t played it yet but it seems like it’s a win

      I highly recommended Dragomino. Similar gameplay as Kingdomino, but without the building restrictions and the egg collecting introduces enough chance to level the playing field

      We got this for our five year old at Christmas, and she loved it!

      She had us, her little sister, her grandparents, her aunts and uncles, her friends, the neighbors, the nurses when we visited the hospital, and everyone else playing Dragomino with ther every day for months. By now, she routinely beats me at it.

      To chime in here, we bought Dragomino for similar reasons, found it really boring and went with king domino, which is playable for a 5 year old that has some experience with Board games. Since all info is public the parents can give advice when the child gets stuck or tries to place a tile wrong. Our son did pick it up really fast (ymmv).
