Another 12 I HIGHLY recommend which you should be able to find: Zombie Kidz Evolution, My First Castle Panic, ICE COOL, Dragon Snacks, Best Treehouse Ever: Forest of Fun, Coconuts, Monster Factory, Robot Turtles, Labyrinth, Bugs in the Kitchen, Go Go Gelato, Marvel BattleWorld
Our 2 year old was just introduced to Go Away Monster and he loves it. Our 6 year still enjoys it from time to time. Every little kid should play that game. He also likes First Orchard. Can't recommend them enough. Great list thanks Dice Tower! Going to look into Outfoxed, Kids Chronicles and YYMT.
Outfoxed is a great game. I find the age range to be wider than it says on the box too. My younger kids, all the way down to 2 have a great time with it, and adults still have fun playing too because it's just as much of a mystery to us as to the kids. Really good game.
Some fantastic recommendations here! Go Away Monster was the game that my son first really enjoyed and wanted to keep coming back to. The reviewer nailed what's great about this one. First orchard is also a huge hit, as is the memory version of the same game. Notable omissions from this list; My first castle panic - a fun colour and shape matching game Viva topo - a fantastic dice chucker and push your luck game, where you're mice trying to see how far you can go to collect the most cheese before the cat catches up to you. Kids of Carcassone - we only played this recently, but while all the other games are fun in their own way for us adults, this was the first that scratched a little of my own gaming satisfaction itch while playing.
Nice list except a few of the games are not out yet and won't be release until Dec 31st 2021....so definitely not going to work as Christmas presents.....also No review up for them! Hope you guys find time to put up reviews for these games so we can check them out more in depth. 👍
Having a 4 and 6yr old and having tried to find games for them in the past 4 years, I do find these lists close to USELESS. I am sorry to say. And that is because the "Kids" category does not really exist. A 4yr, a 6yr and 8yr will have drastic different skill sets so we need to be way more specific if we want to make useful lists to gaming parents. The ability to read, to add, to subtract and then to multiply for example will drastically change which games are accessible. Then you have their logical abilities, an 8Yr can strategize in ways a 5yr simply cant. I appreciate the DT always putting lists for Kids but I must say (and I hope this is constructive) it would be MUCh more useful to have lists for specific age segments. Even when people use the "it is all relative" argument, age specific segments will be more useful as a starting point than the broad "Kids" segment.
I have a 4 and 6 year old and find it quite easy to find games. Outfoxed, Sleeping Queens, Rat a Tat Tat, Enchanted Forest, Ice Cool.... those are a few that my kids love!
Breaking lists into specific age segments would be really unhelpful because my 6 y/o may be able to handle or not handle completely different games than your 6 y/o. When I watch the video recommending strategy games, there are some games that I'm interested in and some that I flat out do not want. It's the same for the kids' games here. At some point it's on you as the adult to listen to what's being described and discern whether it's a good fit for the kid in your life.
I've got to disagree here as well. These recommendations are FAR from useless. They provide a fantastic list of great games for kids of varying ages. As parents, the onus is on us to help fill the gaps when kids are struggling with an aspect of the game, to ultimately ensure they're having fun over everything else.
Geez... Obviously the onus is on the parents. Or does anyone think the kids themselves are coming here for the top list, buying games, reading rules, setting up the table? The point is having such a broad list gives no better starting place than simply going to BGG and ordering games by rating. Having a specific list for "no reading necessary" for example would be extremely useful as a critical filter.
@@dddmmm21 Firstly, don't be a smart arse. Secondly, these videos are much more valuable than what you're suggesting. The reviewers are explaining WHY they suit kids, the general flow of the game, what age ranges suit, etc. You don't get that from a rating. Of course more defined lists would be more helpful. But what you're suggesting is considerably more effort. I suggest you start your own channel and do it yourself. And if you want people to take your suggestions seriously, I'd recommend a better written approach. Calling their efforts useless (especially in caps), is a sure fire way for your thoughts and opinions to be dismissed.
Love how you decided to include so many contributors this year! The list is much more diverse and different from previous years. Good call! Love it!

Outfoxed is a great Kids game! And one of the few i enjoy myself

Ice Cool was the first game I gave my niece and nephew and it’s still one of their favorites. So much fun!
Thanks for all the shoutouts!

Lucky Duck kids line rocks!
Outfoxed is our favourite family game right now, with a 5YO and an 8YO.
Kids Chronicles Quest for the Moon Stone isn't being released until after Christmas on GameNerdz. I'm very excited for it though!
The official release is very soon! GameNerdz date is wrong :)
@@vincentvergonjeanne I can't find it available before Christmas in either England or Australia.
@@ThePookaHarvey Very strange for England. For Australia it may take a little while for the games to make it there.
Wow, I feel so honoured to be on your list, Tom!
Outfoxed is an excellent game. One if the ones parent are always happy to play.
Race for the Treasure is a fantastic tile laying and cooperative game for kids that, as an adult, I’ve always enjoyed playing, too.
Nice list except a few of the games are not out yet and won't be release until Dec 31st 2021....so definitely not going to work as Christmas presents.....also No review up for them! Hope you guys find time to put up reviews for these games so we can check them out more in depth. 👍
I'm shocked Quest Kids did not make the list. A GREAT game for younger kids.
Dragomino is my 3 year oldest FAVORITE game. Really fun game.
Enchanted Tower is my 3 year old's favorite game and we have many of the Haba and other games in this video.
Lots of good games!
Love the Midwest 'roof' by WeGameTogether. Makes me miss my family in Iowa! Overall, loving this series!
🤣🤣💕
Have fun, kids!
Do you have any specific recommendations for color blind people?
