Exploding Kittens knocks another one of the park. We have "Really Loud Librarians", a couple versions of the Taco-Cat-Goat-Cheese-Pizza, Cards against humanity (regular & family edition), and a few others. This one is fun, but the 6 y/o couldn't catch on and got frustrated. Once we stopped policing her "to standard", she got into it and wound up having a blast.10 & older loved it from the jump!
