In fact, the flavor of the June 1 "crossing the robbery" is much lighter than that of the "lover's robbery". Because those who have passed Children's Day are cute (bear) children, children are still easier to ask (da) better (fa) than women. Dad Shan thinks of the big box of Shan’s mother that makes me suspect that I have color-blind lipsticks, and the cutting edge of the kidney is a little painful...
But there are many problems to worry about when giving gifts to children: , safety and environmental protection, needless to say, education The meaning cannot be less. is especially a gift for other people’s homes. The children of the switch will definitely like it, but they will turn their faces with their parents in minutes; send the Huanggang small champion full set. Parents have no problem, but they don’t know how many curses they have suffered from behind...
Da Ren Shan published an article last year, "What is a gift for Children's Day?" "Super detailed board game gift guide", many people have since embarked on the road of duo (shou) buying board games. One year has passed in a blink of an eye, and Dad Shan is happy to see more excellent children's board games emerge, and the children who like board games are blessed (parents of grass can be regarded as eating the soil).
what? Have you bought a board game for your kids? That's too OUT! Let's see how to choose the right gift for children of different ages. Board games are not like clothes, they never go out of style, so remember to take it in conjunction with last year's recommendation for better results!

exercise capacity: color recognition, fine motor, memory and reasoning
suggested retail price: 328 yuan
background of this game is A group of ladybugs need to welcome the grand ball, but now they are all wearing monochromatic clothes and need to exchange patterns for more beautiful colored clothes. But as time goes by, ants from the prom will arrive one after another. If all the 7 ants are present but the ladybug’s clothes are not changed, the game will fail! The biggest feature of the
game is that the ladybugs change their clothes, but they are very particular about . Before the game starts, no one knows which ladybugs are willing to swap. The method to be tested is-

High-energy dividing line

See if they will kiss (cover their faces). When
played this game for the first time, Dad was shocked by the designer 's ingenious use of magnets . And the mechanism is also very ingenious : no matter how the process is changed, the clothes of each ladybug can be colored in the end, and any two ladybugs will not be duplicated! Although it suddenly became clear after knowing the principle, the person who came up with it was a touch of magic.
This game can exercise children's color recognition and fine movements. When you get older, you can also popularize knowledge of magnet principles. Of course, if you understand the mechanism, the game may be too simple. It is recommended to play a few more games pretending to be unaware.
This game won the 2002 KDJ award!

z2 The eternal memory mechanism is the classic memory mechanism for a young child. Dad Shan once said in the article "The sensitive period of memory development, these board games are here to help": Research shows that has an average of 3.91 memory for 3 years old, 5.14 for 4 years old, and 5.69 for 5 years old. , until adults can reach 7- 9. Therefore, memory board games of different ages have very different difficulties and are not suitable for mixing.
In the five little fish board game, there are 5 modules that need to be memorized, which fits the 3-4 year old game age setting . If the little fish moves in different places, it is still a little difficult.
The most attractive part of this game is the telescopic fish and fishing rod, which can help children exercise hand flexibility.
magic tower
Age: 4 +
for persons: 2-4 people
exercise capacity: game, route planning
suggested retail price: 328 yuan
If there are some board games are never patronize pirates, that The magic tower must be one of them. Because this game uses 's exquisite accessory as a selling point, there will never be a pirate who spends so much effort on accessory production. Although
uses the old-fashioned plot of the bad wizard to capture the princess and the heroes race against time to save the beauty, the perfect integration of accessories, mechanics and background helped this game win the 2013 KDJ award in one fell swoop.
There is a magic tower that traps the princess in the game, which requires a key to open; and only one of the five keyholes is correct. If the key is inserted in the correct keyhole, the princess will jump with excitement!
The wizard is responsible for hiding the key, but the hero has the first opportunity. Who can get the key first? Both sides of the game have both wits and courage but also intrigue. Dad of has seen adults in the board game bar and enjoys playing .
By the way, Shan Da only bought the iron box portable version with the same mechanism but "castrated" accessories. After all, the genuine version is hundreds of oceans. Do you want to upgrade Shan Mei during the holidays?
By the way, don't think that only adults can be wizards. After a few observations, Shanmei can push her parents aside to complete the initial game settings by herself. Don't underestimate the children's ability to imitate in the game.

The upside-down process is a bit of the Tower of Hanoi, but it is much less difficult than the previously introduced "Mad Scientist".

baby bunny magic box
Age : z3
6z +
for persons: z3 6z people
exercise capacity: space logic
suggested retail price: 269 yuan
"baby bunny magic box" is a Shan mother accidentally discovered in board games exhibition Good stuff. The simple 4 wooden tools can form various patterns according to the different placements of the front, back, inside and outside. A little incomplete consideration will lead to deviations from the answer. This game has a very good effect for children to exercise their spatial imagination .
Although this is a single-player game, parental guidance is essential, especially for 2-3 years old children, if they are allowed to play independently, it would be a good product for nothing!
Smart Games is a very good brand of single-player puzzle games, available for 2-99 years old, there is always one that suits you. Shan Da is in "45 models! "The Big Collection of Puzzle Solving Board Games for 2-99 Years Old" said that SG is the favorite of copycat merchants, and one product after another has been compromised. But as of now, Dad Shan hasn’t found a copy of Bunny’s game. It may be that the cost of moulding special-shaped wooden parts is too high. Even if the future appears, Dad Shan still has to remind: the paint of wood game is worlds apart, don't buy a cottage!
squirrel red flush
Age: 5 +
for persons: 2-4 people
exercise capacity: reaction, graphic identify
suggested retail price: 99 yuan the previous
described are all imported from abroad original board game, because It is an indisputable fact that there is still a gap between the original ability of domestic board games and foreign countries.
But recently, Dad Shan finally discovered an original board game with a high degree of completion-"Squirrel Rush Chong Chong".
game mainland launched several original board games with the brand "ray" . Under the premise of excellent workmanship and quality, they are marketed with domestic conscience. They are really shy people who want to buy board games (San Da ) Of the gospel.
Shan Da has already experienced several games before, and I always feel that there are some foreign board games. But this game fills the gap in the "real-time" mechanism of domestic children's board games. A game also adds elements such as reaction, pattern recognition, fine movement, color, memory, imitating , etc., although the blending is a bit stiff , But at least it seems full of sincerity.
Seeing the price of the game, Dad couldn’t help but think about it: If all board games are at this price, I feel like I can buy 2 board game cabinets at home~ (by Shan’s mom)
6-8 years old

z7One of the games is "Ice Cool Penguin". In this regard, from the name of the awards printed on its cover (now add the red trophy of the 2017 KDJ Awards) and as a children's game to enter the BGG top 1000 (currently only 12, only 2 are in 2015 After the new game), you know how unique it is.
Although the snap-finger game is not a new mechanism, the ice cool penguin innovatively uses tumbler-shaped penguin chess pieces to make the ejection route bend... If you are playing football, try the banana ball on your fingertips?
magnet magic maze
Age: 6 +
for persons: 2-4 people
exercise capacity: memory
suggested retail price: 258 yuan
group of small magician to find the magic elements in the maze inside, but I was surprised that there is an invisible maze Walls! If you accidentally bump into your head and feel dizzy...
If you want to use board games to realize this kind of hidden path maze, how would you design it? The designer’s whimsical surprise once again surprised me...
The maze path is paved with wooden blocks and covered with a floor; players walking on the floor cannot see the baffle, but the small steel balls stuck underneath will be blocked. If you want to cross the wall-with a "boom", the small steel ball rolls back to the exit from below.
This is another memory game, but the object is no longer a graphic, but a flat map : The memory method of a single element is not enough, would you use the method of overall memory?
is such a creative game, without a doubt-the 2009 KDJ Awards.
laser maze
Age: 8 +
for persons: z3 6z people
exercise capacity: logical, physical principles
suggested retail price: 238 yuan
Thinkfun also set up a very large single-brand puzzle game, this time recommended It is one of the "Three Mazes" praised by parents (the other two are "Circuit Maze" and "Gravity Maze").
Like SG, TF is also the hardest hit area for piracy, but the three major mazes are almost impossible to copy-in addition to selling puzzles, but also selling accessories. And these unique accessories, in addition to being used to solve their own puzzles, can also create space for children , as a toy is also very good.
In fact, Dad Shan played exactly the same game on his mobile phone. It is not excluded that Laser Maze actually refers to similar games. But when these props are materialized and moved back and forth, the feeling that the target tower finally lights up is really completely different!
challenge roller coaster
Age: 6 +
for persons: z3 6z people
exercise capacity: spatial imagination, logic
suggested retail price: 286 yuan
Speaking TF family, I must mention the Shan dad's favorite game of a new product - -"Challenge the Roller Coaster". The design idea of
"Challenge Roller Coaster" is similar to "Gravity Labyrinth", but the balls of the gravity maze roll in the translucent tunnel, which is always a bit unpleasant. Obviously, overThe roller coaster has been improved to address this problem-the tunnel is changed to an open track, and then the more exciting "design roller coaster" theme is applied, and it feels that has suddenly increased from 90 points to 100 points .
Because of the need to use children's spatial imagination, roller coasters and gravity mazes are suitable for older children. Among the most difficult questions, Dad Shan must raise his hand to surrender.
But a child like Shanmei’s age has difficulty solving puzzles, but he really enjoys the feeling of rolling the roller coaster to the end. So if the baby is still young, dad can use this name to stock up and satisfy his desire to play (funny).
Three Little Pigs
Age: 7 +
for persons: 2-5 people
exercise capacity: game, calculate
suggested retail price: 228 yuan
called "Three Little Pigs" a lot of board games, SG has a A puzzle game, Orchard toys also has a 3+ junior game.
shan dad recommended this time, it is the first version of the Chinese version of IELLO "Children words board game series" . As the name suggests, this series is based on classic fairy tales such as "Little Red Riding Hood", "The Race of the Tortoise and the Hare", and "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp" as the background, coupled with highly compatible mechanisms to form a series of board games. Even the packaging box is made like a book, using a rare clamshell box. With the serial number marked on the side (Chinese version only), it is definitely the sound of blessing (e) (meng) in the collection (qiang) Zang (po) family (zheng).
In addition to all this option, you can also put the highly rated "Race of the Tortoise and the Hare" and "Three Little Pigs" into your bag first, and then take your time to plan the others. After all, this series has not been closed. Last year, the eighth version of "Jack and the Magic Bean" was just released...
is back to the game. This game gets rid of the halo of children's games, and has already begun to have the shadow of a German strategy game .
players use dice to build houses made of three materials: grass, wood and bricks; the stronger the house, the more materials it needs, the harder it is to shake it out, but the higher the score, the less likely it is to be destroyed by the big bad wolf. The mechanism of
makes the game surpass the simple connotation of the original "should not be lazy", and allows children to learn to weigh and choose in the game, which adds a lot of dialectical meaning.
9-12 years old
Santorini
Age: 8 +
for persons: 2-4 people
exercise capacity: Game
suggested retail price: 248 yuan
came 8--12 age, these board games have basically Out of the category of children's board games, it is suitable for adults of all ages to play together. "Santorini" first introduced by
is probably the most watched game in 2016. As soon as it was launched on the foreign crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, it achieved sales of 700,000 Canadian dollars; at the same time, it also set off a small panic buying trend around the world. Many domestic players know this game because it has been fired up to 1000RMB in the second-hand market! Fortunately, this game is being reprinted continuously, and players who like it can buy it at a reasonable price. The two major features of
are: has exquisite artwork and easy-to-understand rules.
, the height of the building accessories restores the style of the architecture on Santorini. The blue and white combination is very eye-catching, and the cards are also very high-level cartoon style. In terms of rules, it can be explained clearly in 5 minutes, but if you play a thousand rounds with the characters' skills, it will not be repeated.
It is worth mentioning that this game was originally designed in 2004, but it was too simple at the time and the character skills were less. As a result, almost no one cared about it for a whole decade...Until 2016, it was remade by the artist and became popular overnight.
Well, it's really a face-seeking world.
Kingdom domino
Age: 8 +
for persons: 2-4 people
exercise capacity: game, computing, logistics
suggested retail price: 149 yuan
This is followed by 2017 winner of SDJ Red Label "domino Kingdom ". The SDJ red label is the "Germany Game of the Year Award", which is the most competitive among the three awards: red label, black label and blue label (the blue label is the KDJ award).
This game is characterized by easy to understand, moderate strategy, is very suitable for pushing new (recommended for newcomers to enter the board game world). Up to now, it has firmly ranked first in the number of new pushes by Shan Dad. Once Shan’s mom was playing in her hometown, she attracted two aunts to ask to participate—well, what else do I need to say?
, as a board game with strong game, long-term planning, and strain elements , many parents will not feel disheartened when they see their children playing "Domino Kingdom". By the way, Dad Shan once used Mathematical Olympiad to explain the necessary and sufficient conditions for the location of the castle when the 5X5 kingdom can be completed.
tile Story
Age: 8 +
for persons: 2-4 people
exercise capacity: game, calculate
suggested retail price: 300 yuan
if the previous two are the gas network through the red words "tile Story" It is the most popular fried chicken in the current board game circle. In time, it will certainly replace "Domino Kingdom" on the new throne of Dad Shan. The reason is very simple-its props are so beautiful...
Of course, in addition to the appearance, the game mechanics are also very interesting. As a bricklayer at the Royal Palace of Évora in Portugal, you need to win the favor of King Manuel I with your craftsmanship. However, if you take too few tiles, people will take the lead, and if you take too many tiles, it will cause waste. So you and other bricklayers will fall into a long pit and be pitted...
because the game is popular , The game on Amazon in the United States is almost firm at the original price of $40; and the retail price of the Chinese version of 300 yuan is also sold out in minutes... If you want to play this game recently, it is estimated that you have to cut it hard. Hands up.
By the way, "Tile Story" ranked first in the newly announced SDJ red label shortlist, and the official results have not yet been announced. Dad Shan feels that winning the championship is basically a certainty.
Leaping the Devil Group
Suitable age: 8+
Suitable number: 1-8 people
z Exercise ability, path planning 6Suggested retail price of 7z : 278 yuan If you have played cooperative board games, you will know how difficult it is for several people to play board games together-because there is always a Mr. Know Everything who will tell you: "You go here, he Going here, I have all thoughts about it, and I was right..." Finally, a "one control and N" situation was formed. Of course, the current cooperative games have thought of many ways to solve this problem. The solution of "Flying Devil Band" is the most straightforward: YOU! SHUT UP! Yes, you are not allowed to speak in this game. As an excellent gang of thieves, there is usually an all-around captain with an IQ of 200, a beauty with a beautiful appearance, an IT master with 1000 degrees of glasses, and a dick who is in charge of teasing... ahem, he went to the wrong set. …… In fact, you have to control this squad of fighters, assassins, wizards and archers to complete the most tasks, but the actions that everyone can perform are different. For example, Zhang San can only go to the left and Li Si You can only go to the right and ask your friends for help when you want to turn. Oh, by the way, remember not to talk! "Leap of the Thieves" is a relatively new cooperative game recently. Among the many German strategy games recommended above, it is also good to change a taste. I am Shan's mother, Tsinghua liberal arts girl & growing new mother, 2 years with a baby to study 500+. He is Shan Dad, Tsinghua Finance Man & Orsay Gold Medal Dad, specializing in board game parenting. She is Shanmei, is four years old, loves people and doesn't like sleeping!
