Questions about this age

Can a 2-year-old really play a board game?

Yes, if the game is built for it: one action per turn, no reading and a grown-up playing alongside. Every game on this page is made that way.

What about games marked 18 months and up?

Seek-a-Boo, Dizzy Duckies and the Blinkity Bot busy board start at 18 months. They are on this page too.

When should we move on to cooperative board games?

Around age 3, when a child can follow a short path on a board. Count Your Chickens! and Hoot Owl Hoot! are the usual first steps.
