Thank you very much for the tips - I'm going to find a copy of both Splendor and Speicherstadt. My step daughter is 7 and we have been having a bunch of fun with a D&D campaign. Gaming is fun and it's a significantly better bonding experience that we get playing Minecraft together. Board games would be even more fun, since my 40 year old mind is having trouble changing D&D enough (on the fly) so that it's still fun for her.

Seriously, thanks!

Along with Splendor you may want to checkout Machi Koro. Both my girls like playing it.

I just wanted to second Machi Koro as a phenomenal game for kids - you essentially just roll dice and buy things. But like a lot of these games there can be a surprising amount of strategy, especially with the expansions.
