Forbidden Island
2010 / Cooperative board game / 2-4 players
****
This widely-recommended family-friendly cooperative game was going to end up on the shelf eventually, but it got there a little prematurely when I spotted it for under £10. Still a few years shy of the target age, she got bored as expected, though earlier than hoped, just when the incrementally-rising flood water was getting exciting, but unlucky cards and inexperience would have spelled a soggy defeat anyway.
Hopefully it'll be something we can enjoy together one day (even if it'll still be mainly for me), but for now, the creepy chaos of Atmosfear is her big-kid game of choice.
