Board Game Arena

I could not find anything helpful by search, so I like to ask wether it can be posible to add a search routine for games playable at age x?

I could not find out how to search for this information.

If this was discussed earlier and due to specific reasons neglected I beg pardon for nto finding it.

Right, there is no filter for age of players in the games list. But the filter in itself wouldn't help much, because you must also fill in a recommended age to each game, which will probably not happen - as far as I know BGA, but I could be wrong of course

The filter for family games
EDIT: https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?complexityTag=2
might be of some help to find less complex games. But there still is a wide range, I would say.

In the following I give some suggestions appropriate for children of an age of 6-8 years with
- no need to read words (but in some cases you have to know numbers)
- short set of rules
- not too challenging in strategy
- gameplay taking less than 30 minutes

Try out and have fun

EDIT: Some more games added to the lists.

We now have a game here which is designed for children of the age of 4+:
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?ga ... saurrescue
[EDIT: Also My First Castle Panic: https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?ga ... astlepanic]

It is a cooperative strategy game (also playable in solo mode), where the level of difficulty can be set very variably. In the harder versions it is not trivial, so it can also be some fun for older children and adults.

I have recently updated again my list of BGA games, suitable for children of an age of 6-8 years. You can find it in the post above.

You can find the newly updated list on top.

Thank you for maintaining this post. We discovered BGA a month ago and have been enjoying using it as a platform to play games with our kids. We have a range of ages but this has given me heaps of ideas for our younger group.
