DS1 loves board/ boxed games. We have a fair collection of Orchard Toys games, Buckaroo, Hungry frog, hungry hippo, pop-up-pirate etc. What would good games to add this Christmas please?

Also, does anyone have suggestions of games that DS2(2) could 'join in' with? He currently has a go at Pop-up pirate and Buckaroo, with a bit of help, so I'd love any ideas for other games where turns come round quite fast and it's quite simple.

Memory card game/find the pairs (choose a theme they like - we had Disney Princesses/Peppa Pig for example)

Haba 'Stacking animal' game (can't remember the exact name)

Try survive or the starter version of ticket to ride, cascasonne or carcassonne junior/my first or even better find your local friendly game store and have a chat and a try (if you can't find an independent then travelling man is good)
