DH and I were looking at games for DD last night an couldn't find anything that looked fun and not too complicated for her.

Our oldest DD is 16 so I haven't bought 4/5/6 yo board games in a really long time!!

She loves Yahtzee (my old traditional one, not the newer Spongebob kind), she has matching games, a Angelina Ballerina game (gift), Angry Birds (gift), travel Connect Four, Candyland, Mousetrap (but sister lost some pieces!) and some I may be forgetting. She loves to play them but our stash is getting stale.

Any good ideas for us?

My girls are 5.5 and we have been playing Sorry, Blokus, and Chinese Checkers. Blokus is particularly fun because they can play almost however they want and it is STILL shockingly challenging to the adults in the game. They like Sorry although they get a little frustrated, but I think it's probably good for them!

My 5 year old really likes the Green Eggs and Ham Speedy Diner (http://http://www.amazon.com/Green-Eggs-Speedy-Diner-Game/dp/0979712386) game she got as a gift. It's really fun and seems to be on sale on Amazon although honestly I'm not sure what its true retail price is.
