It can be understood from her eyes that that she has inherited the perfect Boardgamer gene. Look at her seriousness, the massed up game board and the plastic seat that helps her to reach the table. As a boardgamegeek, this is the best photograph that I have ever seen.
This photo is a great illustration for how any game can seem "too complicated" when you need to learn from the written rules.
Why do people glaze over or state things like "this is too complicated" when you explain a modern euro like Carcassonne?

Edit: It's almost as if she is reading the rules trying to figure out exactly how and why Candyland is fun, I'm sure it won't take her long to figure out the truth.
