I've successfully graduated my kid from Chutes & Ladders and Trouble to the remake of Dungeon! this week, and he's in love with it. The reading isn't bad for him -- he's familiar with about half of the words from playing Minecraft -- and the math is just his speed, as is the risk assessment involved with knowing what level of the dungeon he can take on. (His rogue spent a lot of time being beaten up on level 4 and 5 tonight, after being repeatedly warned it'd be pretty hard for him.)
Now, it's early to start worrying about the next step, but some of the games I'm eyeing are starting to vanish from shelves. Which game line, Talisman or the D&D boardgames (Wrath of Ashardabamalamadingdong, etc.) are more suitable for young players (with adult help)?
With the D&D boardgames, which would you recommend I pick up? (I admit to being a Drizzt hater, but I'll put that aside if the boardgame is the hands-down best.) Do the other miniatures games add anything to the core games worth worrying about?
For Talisman, what expansions beyond the core game are worth getting?
