Sometimes, a great game for adults just doesn't work for kids. Maybe it's too complicated, perhaps it requires a reading level or knowledge that younger people just don't possess yet.
But what if you take a classic game and make a "Junior" edition? Not a "dumbed-down" version, but a game that keeps the elements that make the game great, yet make sit more accessible for youngsters?
That's the idea behind the following collection of "Junior" editions of classic board games:
