Nut Brown is getting really good at Connect Four.  He's a challenge to play.  I have to try hard to win, and sometimes I lose.  Lately we've also been playing Sequence, which is a great game because the rules are so simple and it's all about strategy.  Rose Pink gets some of the strategy, and Nut Brown gets none of it, but they can still play and they really enjoy it.  Also we've been playing Go Fish with some alphabet cards.  Instead of counting up who got the most pairs at the end of the hand, the kids enjoy the game based on who got their favorite pairs during the hand.  Did Rose Pink get the Jaguars?  Did Nut Brown get the Narwhals?  Who got the Umbrella Birds?  These are the questions on which the success of the hand hangs.
