Maybe he needs to learn to trade? “Sheep for late bedtime” sounds apropos.

Teach him to squish sheep into bricks, that should help.

he just hordes his sheep and makes baa noises.

Come to think of it, that’s mostly what I do. And sometimes I win!

Why I Like To Play Candy Land
by Mark Musante

Samantha loves playing it. I love to watch her reaction as she gets to move forward. I love the sympathy she expresses when I’m forced to move backward. I like the way it teaches her to wait for her turn, to have patience, to not get upset when Zoe walks by and wants to join in even though she doesn’t know how to play. I like that Samantha has gone from anger at losing, to saying ‘good game, want to try again?’. I like the fact that I don’t have to think, so I can concentrate on watching the other kids as they play. I also make up for the numbing mindlessness of it all by teaching Alec to play Go. And so in conclusion the end.

We’ve had good luck with Ellric with Carcasonne. The tactics are pretty simple: pick up a tile and put it down so it matches, then maybe put a guy on it.

How many sheep does it take to make a horde?
