Board Games for 3 Year Olds

July 23, 2024

I have twin boys who have played a lot of board games, and I've made video overviews for some of the games they've played. Here is a video compilation of many of the games they played (by the rules) when they were 3 years old. I've also made a list of 5 of their favorites. Make sure you also check out the games they played at 2 years old.

Children's Games

June 4, 2023

When my twins were a little over 2 years old, they started playing some board games by the actual rules! Before that, I had introduced them to board games and they liked playing with the pieces. I blogged about some of those experiences in my Training Games series. But when they started playing games by the rules, I started making overview videos of each game we've played. Here's the playlist on YouTube of all the videos I've made about children's games. The links to each overview video in the playlist are also below, grouped by how old my kids were when they first played the game by the rules.

Additionally, I made a list of some of my (and my kids') favorites to play with 2 year olds and 3 year olds! I'm also planning on making a list video for each year as they grow older.

Free Print-and-Play Games

April 18, 2023

In 2020 I started getting into print-and-play (PnP) games, specifically ones that are available for free. These are games where the files (rules and components) are made available online for you to print out at home and play! Sometimes you'll need to provide things like dice and counters, but most board gamers have some of those! I've made overview videos of a bunch of the games I played. Most/all of the games are available for free to print and play (or they were at the time I made the videos), and they're also playable solo. Here's the playlist on YouTube of all the videos I've made about free PnP games. The links to each overview video in the playlist are also below, grouped by type. Here's also a video on how I make PnP games.

Additionally, I made a list of some of them that I felt were worth it to print and play as a beginner to PnP!
