Patchwork was played 59 times and is my most played by a large margin. Most of those plays have been on bga, but 40% in person. I play it against myself too, very relaxing, like other people build puzzles, i would assume

Yes, my son started at 5 1/2 but you could go lower, since it is coop, you play with the children and can help them. It‘s also a good entry to counting. Dice roll + weapon strength etc.

My recommendations would be karak as an introduction to dungeon crawlers, ice cool for dexterity, stone age junior for the memory advantage of kids and king domino as the next step
