Top games for 8-year-olds

The below games are ranked by the site’s enjoyment rating for 8-year-olds. See the key below for the meaning of the icons and numbers in the table.

As the site is just launching in autumn 2024, the initial rating for each age is calculated from the game’s adult BGG score multiplied by the parent percentage, but as our users submit ratings, so the ratings at each age will become our own.

Note that a game will only appear on this list if the parent percentage is greater than 0% (ie at least one parent thinks it’s playable at this age).
