Grant, thank you so much for this post. We've got a 16 month old and finding time to do things is...well...challenging. Board games are usually out by the time he's down, so when Dysmantle went on sale recently I picked it up. We are loving it...and I do mean "we" because my wife will sit down and happily watch. She's always liked helping me with game puzzles, even if that means she's looking up solutions and giving me gentle nudges. We even set little goals like "okay, let's get the lockpick crafted and then call it a night" which is awesome because then we're both excited to go find what we can now unlock!
Dan: This means the world to me and completely made my week. It is SO tough to carve out personal time with a little one...it's precious to maintain. If I can help recommend games ever, in any way, please reach out or comment. Thank you for taking the time to say this!
Of course! Thank you for putting this together - it's been a great read. While I really love spending time with cardboard and wood we've had to adjust for obvious reasons. So finding a shared hour of breaking almost everything with a crowbar seems to be doing the trick. I'm sure I'll be looking for more recommendations in the future!
