Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.
Rules:
- Play nicely with others here.
- Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
- Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

The same company that makes Exploding Kittens makes a couple other fun party games that a 5 year old would probably eat up. Throw Throw Burrito (alternatively, Throw Throw Avocado), Giants Moving Tiny Furniture, Poetry for Neanderthals, On a Scale of One to T-Rex, Hand-to-Hand Wombat, Bears vs Babies.
Some of these might be a taaaad too complex for a 5 year old, but I think they could learn most of the concepts or you could slightly trim the rules to make them easier for a 5 year old. They are all fun and hugely silly, which a 5 year old should love.
