Episode 5: Beyond Candyland: Games for the Pre-Literate

This week, Chris and Laura discuss what to look for when choosing a game for children who are not yet strong readers and realize that most of their favorites are made by Ravensburger. If you have small children and want to find a game that's a little more engaging and replayable than Candyland, this is the show for you. 

 

Recommended  Games:

Carcassone

Carcassone (Star Wars Edition)

Castle Panic

Catan Junior

Kids of Catan (Link is to Amazon. You might want to check Ebay as well. Pricey now that it's an out-of-print collectible.)

Enchanted Forest

Labyrinth

Rivers, Roads, & Rails
