Column: Dust off those old board games and step away from the screens | NorthCountryNow
I found this a nice inspiration for those of us with kids and the little tradition this could spark which I think would be super healthy for the kids and also the relationship for when they are adults.

I think this is a great idea. However beware of what you are getting yourself into. I'm stuck playing UNO, Dobble and this mole dice game with my 3 year old daughter for hours on end. It doesn't get old for her but it is starting to get a bit stale after a few months of playing for me.
To be fair, that just describes about any activity with a toddler.
Is 3 years old still a toddler? Also from my experience she will lose interest in most other acitivies after 20 minutes at most.
Depends on definition, but I admit I use the term liberally for small children (not a native speaker).

Also not a native speaker here. I was just curious as I always picture smaller kids when I hear toddler. Thanks for the Wiki link!
Buy new games with increasing complexity until you find yourself enjoying the game.
That's the plan but the games we played are as much as she can handle and they are labeled 4 or 5 years and up. But time is on my side here. Overall I'm super happy that she enjoys boardgames and cardgames and in a few years we'll start to play games from my collection I'm sure. It's just. Have you ever played 2 hours of 1v1 UNO? It's something else.
