So, I am accepting game recommendations for these kids, contingent on the constraints laid out in the previous four or five posts, but also contingent on a whole mess of other constraints that I'm not going to get in to publicly.
The gist:
- Needs to run on linux
- No guns
- If it needs reading, call that out so that I can put it in the right bucket
- If it can be played by people who can't read well, call that out so I can put it in the right bucket
- There's room for frustrating games, and difficult games, and challenging games, but they have to be selected sparingly.
- Open world and sandbox games are OUT unless they contain some serious constraints or demand specific goals. (Minecraft is a trigger right now.)
- I'm avoiding Steam or anything that requires an internet connection (even if it's just for DRM) for logistical reasons.
