Note that there IS an amazon affiliate link on the right side of the page there... just no direct links to the games... (That link goes right into the GamingWithChildren coffers... so helps to keep the site going...) Perhaps next year I'll include specific game links... it's a bit more work but we'll see if it generates anything. (I've done similar things before but it typically isn't too big of a thing...) Thanks, James!

I haven't played Smallworld with 2, but could see its not as fun as more, but one thing about 2 players is there isn't the political brinkmanship that can happen in a game with more players.

I just picked up Pandemic to play with my daughter, as I find it fun to play cooperative games with kids. Arkham Horror is another great co-op game, IMO. I love Small World, though I find it plays better with more than 2 players. Though I am more of a wargamer, I do occasionally wander outside of the genre.
