We propose several games that have simple rules and are ready for youngsters as soon as they have a few basic mental and tactile skills. We also provide occasional commentary.
The names are what came to my mind. Part of the fun is to re-name your favourites.
The rules are flexible. Part of the fun is to change them as you go along.
The competition is slight. Part of the fun is playing (the other part is experiencing life).
We would be very happy to publish any further suggestions and illustrations (no identities - just table-top, cards, hands and arms): mail@busy.cards (We will try to acknowledge receipt).
Patch for the early years: for two. Gentle game, flexible rules, 'taking turns', lacking earnest competition. Observation, recognition, memory, and matching.
