I posted this comment elsenet:
"We find that waiting for the children to go to sleep is a lost cause, because even if we get them to bed early, adults have no energy for long games. Even when we can start straight after dinner - say I have a date at 6.30 or so - my adults aren't up for evening games more complicated than about Dominion level.
But, I managed to find that we can have time for long thinky games in the afternoon, while the children are talking to our next door neighbours or playing, and am thus looking for long thinky games because most of the games we have were found with the aim of being playable by small people."
It was in response to a thread about the Firefly boardgame, more of a thank you than a request as such, but while I'm at it, please do offer suggestions?
The nearest to the category we already have are Risk, Brief History f the World, and maybe Brass, although we haven't played that for a couple of years. Roborally we have, but the children like to play so I'm not putting it in this category, although I think it could go here comfortably.
