3. Kids Chronicles - Quest for the Moon Stones (Chronicles of Crime) - This game integrates an app, and lets kids explore a wonderful story with it.
2. Dragomino (Kingdomino) - Kingdomino with dragon eggs that you get to hatch. Yes, please!
1. Andor: The Family Fantasy Game (Legends of Andor) - This game is a cooperative adventure that we love! It simulates a big adventure game like Gloomhaven, but on a smaller scale that is accessible to families.
