Prompted by a friend looking for a game for her 15 yr old son, I posted this question in the forums:
Quote:
Can anyone think of a good game that might be helpful in learning about European History?
A friend just asked me this question:
"Can you suggest a game that we can use to help Max remember European History details?"
I asked if they were hoping for an overtly "educational" game or one where some knowledge might rub off more indirectly, and they would be happy to find either.
They're not limited to any particular era, although he's currently studying the Renaissance and Martin Luther.
There were enough responses so far, that I thought it'd be good to convert the question to a GeekList.
If you have any good suggestions, please add or comment on availability and complexity issues as well as content. Thanks!
Edit: the teenager is 15, not 13 - oops!

Yeah, this is the kind of game where you need to schedule a playing for. Also, all players really need to know the rules before hand. Depending on the kid's interest and attention level, I think he might be able to handle this. If even for a short time.
