Matt,

Excellent choices, in just about all slots, well done!

- Family - Zooloretto is another excellent family game
Ubongo is one that would be a hit with many families.
- Kids games - Gulo Gulo for younger games is fun
- Party games - Love the ones you mentioned
- Strategy - Age of Discovery is a big hit with heavier
games and lighter alike, good mix of theme and strategy.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Excellent reccomendations.

Gulo Gulo is great to go even younger, although the price is a bit steep (but the wooden bits are excellent. I'll think about it for next year.

Zooloretto is indeed an excellent recommendation, however it never really took off for me personally so I left it out. (It is a list made by me, after all! It definitely appears in lots of other lists around the net.

I'll have to try Ubongo soon, I have it on my list to try out...
