Thanks for the dive into the data, often wondered about that number!

Now - Toddler games!

Little Astronauts has been a hit with my 2 and 4 year olds - not really any meaningful decisions to make but feels like a good intro to playing games and you learn about the planets in the solar system and numbers as you go.

More challenging for the littler one but My First Carassonne is my most played game with the kids and probably my own favourite of the bunch - all moves are legal but some moves are better than others; so some room for developing a bit of strategic thinking. Sometimes they just do a move to help the other one out and it's very sweet.

And turns out Animal upon Animal is as good as everyone says it is.

Thanks for the thoughtful list! I've played some My First Carcassonne with my niece, who has since moved on to Carcassonne without farmers. I'll check out Little Astronauts!

Super interesting! I just wonder how he gets so many out in such a small time. Very surprised about him not being in the bgg top 100.
