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

It's a lot less RPGish, but Forbidden Island is a great co-op game, not too complex.

On the other end of the scale, Once Upon a Time is a cooperative storytelling game. Not much on strategy, but still fun for the grownups.

Those both lookgreat in different ways. I got outvoted and bought Samurai Showdown but am going to snag Forbidden Island as a surprise. Thanks!
