This is quickly becoming the cutest pic on the site.

Look at the effort. Priceless!

That's pretty much how I look when I'm going through the Paths of Glory rules on exceptions.

And so it goes...
Forty years and I'm no more enlightened.

It can be understood from her eyes that that she has inherited the perfect Boardgamer gene. Look at her seriousness, the massed up game board and the plastic seat that helps her to reach the table. As a boardgamegeek, this is the best photograph that I have ever seen.

Thank you for sharing this great photo with us.

Way to go! Don't take what your parents told you to be "the" way, find out and then tell them what to do!

In the future I can picture her constantly refering to the rules to veto a player's actions and improve her own position.

This photo is a great illustration for how any game can seem "too complicated" when you need to learn from the written rules.

Why do people glaze over or state things like "this is too complicated" when you explain a modern euro like Carcassonne?

I'm sure Monopoly would be equally confusing to someone with little-to-no board game experience if they had to learn by reading the rulebook. Or try learning euchre from a written rules if you have no experience with card games.

Before you know it, she'll be stacking the deck and cheating her way to victory. It is the inevitable conclusion of the lesson of Candyland -- Get it over quickly.

Yay for insipidity!

Too see the campaign for making this photo the top rated in BGG photo albums, see http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/180322/page/1

Why is it that most "cute kids" just look like larva to me? I guess it's the same response I have to "cat in gamebox" photos.

Guess, I'll have to use this as a source image for my hybrid "catgrinder/little kid" photoline.

Yeah, I hate "cat in the game box" pictures too.

Monkey Auto Races was funny, but this is stupid.

LOL. If only I could get my husband to read the instructions.

Do the rules really need to be THAT long?! Double sided, three folds!

aww...

Great pic. Twenty years from now you'll do the embarassing parent thing when she has friends round

I tried submitting a "child in gamebox" photo previously and it was rejected as "too grisly." I admit, I had chosen Citadels, but I felt I'd discovered a niche we hadn't explored yet.

I just added the 650th thumb to this pic.

What kinda prize do I get?

Great picture, love the kid's expression. Glad to see stuff like this on the 'Geek!

Edit: It's almost as if she is reading the rules trying to figure out exactly how and why Candyland is fun, I'm sure it won't take her long to figure out the truth.

Let's just say she's sitting in the right seat.
