With a soon to be 5 year old and a just turned 7 year old the list of games that everyone will be happy to play is kind of restricted but we still make it work.
For a long time the games of choice were Ludo (or Sorry), Uno and sometimes a random game the kids had. My son is mental about Ludo and plays it every chance he can get (mainly because he always manages to roll 6's and gets multiple pieces home before anyone else even manages to start!) however after listening to a back episode of The Incomparable Podcast about favourite games I decided to go ahead and purchase Castle Panic.
It's a bit different to most games we play as it is co-operative. Everyone plays the game together, you either all win or all lose! Basically you have a ring of towers in the middle surrounded by walls and a series of monsters that try to destroy your towers. The game ends when all the monsters are defeated or all of your towers are destroyed.
The kids love it and it has become our go to game! There is a strategy element where you can plan your turn to set up the next players turn in the process. There is also an expansion pack available which I think we will be picking up in the future :)
Current Win/Lose score 4 - 2
