A quote from a friend:
“We played four games of sent [sic] over thanksgiving and […] eldest put it at the top of her wish list. I hadn’t realized how well cooperative games work with the 7-10 age”
Sweet! I think the cooperative mode allows for the adults/older kids to help the younger ones when they get stuck without it being a failure (since everyone helps everyone in a cooperative game) plus, SotM has totally kid appropriate themes. It is really hard to find things that are fun and interesting for adults that kids care about too and SotM nailed it.
