"Harmonies is not just any game. Yes, you will draw tiles and compete with your opponents to create the best combinations... But the experience goes much further. Because Harmonies is a real ode to nature, to the balance between fauna and flora. It doesn't play on rivalry between species and essence, predation, or the will to power but on the necessity of harmony among all elements of an ecosystem."

Games for kids ages 2+ can not only be difficult to find, but to play as well.

Last week Thursday - our regularly scheduled game night in the Roffel household - a big box of board games arrived from Asmodee Canada, two of which were aimed at young kids.
