Game of Life

Hi, my almost 8 year old daughter loves board games. I was wondering if Game of Life (not the junior version) would be suitable for her age. Thank you!

I have 2 children - aged 10 and 13 - and Game of Life has been a firm favourite for a number of years. So I would say yes

Definitely. Mine loved Game of Life from quite a young age.

It's ok, and my children play it, but there are many more games out there that are more fun and enjoyable.

Ticket To Ride
Machi Koro
King of Tokyo
Settlers of Catan
Pandemic

Are all good ones

Thank you for the replies. And thank you for the other game suggestions. I'll keep them in mind for her birthday.

Mine love it at that age (and for a long time afterwards) but oh my god we hated it as parents .... argggg .... try Labyrinth... much more enjoyable and the whole family can play without wanting to hide in a dark closet

How young can I ask?
