I have the young persons version from all that time ago, we don't play it that often so the questions are still good for us. We love co-operative games here we have a few children's ones but are looking forward to getting more aimed at older children/adults in coming years. We love indigo, rummikub, kingdomino and tri-ominoes too. I play lots of board games with Alice, she loves them but as she is very dyslexic it has to be games that don't involve any reading.sustainablemumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099701194160334671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-15575302853093744262019-12-14T17:52:47.232+00:002019-12-14T17:52:47.232+00:00I have a few games which came with me from home wh...I have a few games which came with me from home when I moved out, they've been enjoyed for many years by different generations.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
