SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Just wanted to toss these out for parents.  I bought my daughter two tile-laying games from Gamewright and both are excellent.  

The first is Legend of Landlock.  She was able to play at 4, but she's 5 now and starting to really hone her strategy.  LoL is a beautiful game with a children's fantasy undertone (gnomes, fairies, dragons).  It's also surprisingly deep--my wife and I actually enjoy this one some nights after girl goes to sleep.

The second is Hisss.  My daughter enjoys this one too, but it's a lot more simplistic than Landlock and relies more on luck of the draw.

Anyway, just thought's I'd share.

Legend of Landlock reminds me rather a bit of Carcasonne.  While I realise that it is currently being excoriated by some over in the American vs. Euro boardgame thread, Carcasonne has been received quite well in my family, including by my 6-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son.  My son still presides forth with his story of winning with a 48-point farm, and my daughter is devilishly crafty with her small cities and short roads (which often plays into the hands of my farmer-king son).
