Conduct Together (Series)
Platforms: Android, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PC and iOS
Genres: Creative, Puzzle and Strategy
Released: December 2018. Added to this library 8 days ago, last updated yesterday.
Overview
Conduct Together is a strategy game where you control toy trains along the overlapping train tracks. Each train can be started and stopped with a specific button. Other buttons change different points. The aim is to transport the people from one station to the next as quickly and safely as possible, without the timer running out. New levels bring challenges and increase in difficulty the more you complete.
With multiple controllers you can all control any train and points. However, you need to agree how to manage an increasing number of trains. In families you can assign different trains to each player.The simple controls make it accessible for a wide range of abilities but very young players will soon sabotage any strategy and crash trains (which is funny but not helpful).
You can make it easier via the settings by changing the speed and granting more slow motion time.
There are a series of similar Conduct games:

- Conduct Deluxe (2017) is a PC and Mac version where players can edit and create their own train tracks.

This game is good if you want to take on a mountainous challenge, have silly fun together, make video games, nourish youthful ambition or work in a team to win.

Work Together to Thrive
Along with teamwork, the games I’ve selected here use the fact that players are all sitting next to each other.
These are games where players take on different roles in order to complete unusual tasks. The fun is often as much about the conversations (and arguments) that happen in the room as what’s happening on the screen.
Make Your Own Video Games
You can unleash your creativity with these games that enable you to make your own games. Start with something familiar and try making your own levels in Mario Maker or get to grips with building in Minecraft. Build your confidence and creativity and soon you’ll be creating more complicated games in Dreams or LittleBigPlanet.We put this list together with the help of the brilliant National Videogame Museum, (NVM). The World's First Fully-Playable Cultural Centre Dedicated to Games. If you want more information about making your own videogames, the NVM has free resources to get you started.
Nourish Youthful Ambition In 7-12 Year-Olds
Attempt The Impossible
This might be grappling with the flying mechanics in Rocket League, getting endlessly lost trying to find the next guardian in Shadow of the Collosus or coming up with the right tactic to get enough money for the ship you need in Elite. Of course, some of these games can be made easier, but to play them at their best is to ramp up the difficulty to max (crushing on The Last Of Us for example) and let them give you all they've got.
Embrace Silliness
Whether it's the crazy puzzles in Baba is You or Twister-like contorsions of Fru or stomach churningly difficulty of walking in Octodad Deadliest Catch, these are games that will make you shreek and laugh together. Then there are silly multiplayer games like Super Pole Riders, Heave Ho or Wii Party where parents, carers and children take on bizarre or precarious challenges. The play often descends into giggling and laughter.
