my younger kid is my board-game buddy, older one isn't as into it
i haven't "let them win" since they were like 5 honestly, but i also don't really play maximum-cutthroat-competitive with them either.
but the 8yo regularly wipes the floor with me in Clank!, among other games.
tonight we tried a new-to-us free roll-and-write called Fantasy Food Truck, it was pretty fun! we'll definitely check out some of the creator's other games.
