Zooloretto Coloretto Ticket to Ride (I prefer Nordic Countries, but USA might be less geographically challenging; judge their interest/skill level first) My 12 yo girl loves Eketorp and has since we taught her the game at about age 9 (go figure) Fast Flowing Forest Fellers is a hoot Niagara is awesome Hey!
