Hi, thanks for the recommendation!
We've got For Sale - my daughter (8) played it with the neighbour girl yesterday and they seemed to enjoy it. Not such how much the neighbour girl understood it, though!
Ticket to Ride is my 8yo's favourite game! In the Ticket to Ride boxes I kept seeing fliers for Memoir '44 (also published by Days of Wonder), and eventually I researched that and ended up getting it! So now Memoir '44 is a frequent game to play with the kids. They're not too much into the WW2 theme, though... I think I need to show them more WW2 movies! (So far they've only seen Saving Private Ryan).
KingDominoes - We got this too. It was really easy to learn, and we've progressed to the Giants expansion. Is that the one you're talking about?
7 Wonders Duel - We bought this, but haven't tried it. 7 Wonders is one of the few games the whole family likes to play, so we haven't yet felt the need for a 2 player version.
King of Tokyo - Bought but not tried. I also got the Power Up expansion. Some day we'll get around to trying them out!
As for LotR LCG, I've sort of given up playing it with the kids, at least for the next few years. It's just too hard for them. Too much reading and learning. I think they like games where they don't have to read. And, to be honest, so do I. There's something really primally satisfying about moving plastic soldiers around on a hex board!
That said, I've been enjoying the digital version of Lotr LCG. I've only finished the first couple missions, though. But I like the music, voice overs, and the fact that the computer remembers most of the rules for me. Too bad it's no longer going to be Free to Play, because I was looking forward to getting the girls into it. Still, it's fun for me... although it's now competing in time with the new Witcher/Gwent game (Thronebreaker).
So many games, so little time!!!
