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!

There is The Land of Eem, which is really good, won a couple ennies. They are currently kick starting another setting box set and an even more kid friendly rule set if you end up interested, but the current box set is awesome too. Also free preview PDF.

Thanks, not so much the theme I was looking for, but rather kid-friendly. I'll have a look.
