Good to know someone made coop rules for Heroica games (I didn't dare try these yet as I feared I would be disappointed), they sound much more interesting.

@Joubarc I've not tried the more advanced rules "officially" with my kids yet (4 and 7), although I've taken some of Joe's ideas and others - I've used Joe's Thief changes, and added a variant where the Druid can heal other characters over a certain distance - making it more of a true healer than it currently is. Works nicely when each player has multiple characters too.

I've played Creationary with adults only and it works well.

<p>Are all LEGO Boardgames more or less for children, or are some of them suitable for grown-up, more expert players? (Everybody likes relaxing with a simple game, but are any of the games a bit more challenging?)</p>

From personal experience (which doesn't quite qualify as an answer), the games I tried left me with a feeling of being a bit too easy, or repetitive, thus having low replay value. Also, the competitive stance of all these games tends to get annoying.

The most obvious answer is probably the [LEGO Heroica](https://web.archive.org/web/20120203073617/http://heroica.lego.com/en-us/Default.aspx) range, especially when played in "Campaign" mode; for more details see our [Heroica tag wiki](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/tags/heroica/info).

There are also a few examples of "Expert" rules that others have come up with, including our very own Joe Wreschnig's set on his dedicated site.

Both of these make the ruleset more complicated and can encourage more of a team play than the usual competitive play that my kids make it.

[LEGO Creationary](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=3844-1) is another game where the modelling requirements make it a slightly less child friendly game than some of the others.
