[quote=Anonymous][quote]It is just sad that 11 year old cannot think of what else to do with each other. Well the rain isn't helping at all. But still. Most of the kids who come over do not play board games. I don't get this. We play board games as a family - Cataan, Ticket to Ride, etc - but I guess others do not? So the answer to "play a board game" is: "Larlo doesn't play board games." It is not out of control as my 11 year old doesn't do too many sleepovers either. But so sad that they do not know how to interact with each other without the device.

So you need to cultivate the boardgaming kids! They are out there - my kid is one. Plus, even if they SAY X doesn't play Boardgames, with a little effort you might find one that all think are fun - Terror in Meeple City, King of Tokyo - especially if they are limited for video games.

They like what the know. We play cards or a board game every single night before bed. I think we are a relic of the past. We got this tradition from my DH'S family and I think it really contributed to how my DH'S brain operates. He can remember everything and look at things 5 steps ahead. It's pretty remarkable. I did not grow up like this and now my 10yr old beats me at chess and is a great Rummy player.

Cards and board games are so much better than video games. We actually interact. Imagine![/quote]

My family also likes board games, but we don't like to play them with judgmental people who think they are better than everyone else.[/quote]
