Played out Monster Mayhem card game within a month or so. Bought Castle Panic and was a great fantasy intro board game, simple to learn with just enough strategy to keep it interesting for older folks but it’s about run its course.

Looking for suggestions 2-3 can play together mix of youth and adults, ideally collaboratively. Basic-level RPG or strategy fantasy/mystery/adventure, small group of 3 max so not really a “DM” situation type game, all would be players.

TIA

Thanks for the rec, I looked it up and that’s right in the sweet spot of introducing some basic RPG mechanics but not too much to juggle for my co-players.

As a side note, it’s encouraging to see the artwork has all female heroes–it’s great to see industry recognizing after decades of girls and women playing that sorceress and elf doesn’t have to be the limit.

If it looks interesting then make sure to check out the Forest of Shadows version too. It can be played either standalone or combined with the original. It adds a poison mechanic and some other relatively minor things. There is also a newer space themed game called One Deck Galaxy but I haven’t played that one yet.
