Munchkins

My 7 year old has now reached the stage that he can deal with some more mentally challenging games than Monopoly (which I hate).
He's already playing Chess, but I wanted to give him some other tabletop games to try, at least to keep him off the Ipad for a while.

So recently bought:
- Perudo, which is a classic dice/bluffing game and I regularly play with my own friends. Ace game
- Pandemic. Recommend on these forums and others. Turned out to be a little too complex and thus a bit dull for him. Have still to manage a full play through
- Arkham horror. Supposedly a brilliant game, that I'm certain will be too advanced for him, but it was cheap whilst I was in the US on business
- Munchkins. Wow, what a simple yet utterly brilliant game. My son loves it and even the missus likes it. If you haven't got a copy yet, then do it. Just bonkers cheap for something that appears very simple, but can become very complex quite quickly.

Lastly, I wrote an RPG set of rules a few years ago, which we've been using with his friends. At least they seem to like it.

As long as you accept it for what it is (luck based and ridiculous) then it's a fun game to play from time to time.

Sure, you shouldn't expect it to be serious, it just isn't.
The RPG I wrote was my attempt at being more serious.
