    This is a great thread, especially since Christmas is around the corner. Thanks OP for starting it and thank you everyone else for great replies.

    Anybody tried SET? It's probably best for the upper end of that range, like five or six, but it's good -- like matching but with more logic/perception required. You can play the daily puzzle here to see what you think. It will probably take little kids a lot longer, though -- YMMV.

    Would also say that games of chance have been successful us in terms of promoting how to win/lose skills and dealing with frustration. It really can't be helped if my hippo gets all the marbles...

    My 11-year-old is a SET shark. She takes it with her to summer camps and challenges the counselors. She doesn't play for money (as far as I know), but she is pretty merciless. I don't think a camp counselor (usually 5-15 years older than her) has beaten her at it yet, and she's been doing this for a couple of years.

    Oh, boardgames. DD8 currently beats us both at everything every time, with the exception of chess where DH still holds an edge, Scrabble for a little while longer at least, and things like Trivial Pursuit and Cranium, where she doesn't get the older pop culture references.

    From age 3 - 6, these were what she was playing:

    Mousetrap
    Snakes and Ladders
    Connect Four
    Guess Who
    Operation
    Tiddlywinks
    Dominoes
    Jenga
    Jacks
    Carcassonne
    Simon
    Battleship
    Cluedo
    Uno
    Tenzi
    Chess

    and card games like Go Fish. Those were the days smile Now we lose at Monopoly and Risk

    Huge hit around here; we still pull it out occasionally, though I really need to find the grownup version.
