My son is addicted to this game on pbskidsgo.org's website. It's hard to find something nonviolent that will catch his interest, but he is hooked on this game. It features planning ahead, defeating a villian, a woman boss (Mother B), working to earn money, budgeting, and finding treasures - a great combination of educational value and adventure. Top notch! A child must be a good reader or work with a parent to play.
