Hi all, hope this is the right place to put a question like this.
I am looking for a potential roleplaying game to play with my kid (9 years), but there is absolutely no interest for anything fantasy or sci-fi. Just a love of anything animals and recently we discovered Everdell as a cool boardgame for our family. Root is another boardgame that in style would fit our interests.
Does anyone know of any roleplaying game featuring animals having jobs, building communities? Fighting monsters or evil dudes is not completely off the table I think, I am sure I could tone that down myself if necessary. Bonus plus if it features art like the two games I mentioned.
Thanks!
The classic Mouseguard springs to mind. Literally just mice having jobs protecting and building their home. I’ve not gotten to play it but I really want to.
You’ll probably see Wanderhome suggested which sells itself as a Redwall-esque game. I hated the system myself but others love it.
I’d maybe look at Mice and Mystics for ideas but it’s more fantasy and classic dungeon crawl so not really what you want
Awesome, thanks also for linking them.
