    Any of you lot into and know much about boardgames? for kids?

    is there such a thing as a game with a 'dynamic board'?

    like you have a range of rule types and basic interactions, but you 'build' the game from scratch each time.

    At its most basic, you could constuct a novel snakes and ladders game each time.

    Does that make sense?

    I know I could just do this all on graph paper, etc, but..

    • not really a board game but marble run is one my kids loved._niko
    • and super Mario-maker but that's a video game obviously_niko
    • What kind of age range?Morning_star
    • Nairn, let’s make one. We have kids the same age almost.monospaced
    • sounds like the old school Mouse Trapfaxion
    • @m_s - 6-ish. @faxion - I could never get that cunt to work! I mean more simplisticaly - just laying down the spaces with directions. No 3d plastic stuffNairn
    • Sure Nairn, Carcassonne is a solid beginner game where players draw tiles and build the board trying to score points.Nutter
    • other suggestions:
      World Wonders
      Galaxy Truckers
      The Quest for El Dorado
      Betrayal at House on the Hill

    • try looking up on youtube and see if any of them might be somethingNutter
    • Hey, thanks nutter! They might be a smidge above my daughter's pay grade, but even so, they're immediately useful to help me find things for younger kids. TA! xNairn
    • My son just turned 7 and 3, and my brother and I made our own board games when we were children in the 80s and 90s.monospaced
    • I imagine a grid where you can design the "path" you travel, locations of action spaces, and then you can invent what happens, or use their canned suggestions.monospaced
    • Check out Labyrinth. It’s a constantly moving maze that’s different each time. My 8 year old loves it.greyandred
    • Ooh, thanks!Nairn
    • That was a good call, greyandred - it's a little complex for the kid (should've got the kids version) but she's getting a handle on it. Thanks!Nairn
    • Happy to hear it pal.greyandred
