You cannot stop me from doing the Lambada just by calling it, "The Forbidden Dance."

And furthermore, I think tipping answers in GeekQuestions should be fixed.

Here in the United States, there are a lot of Thomas the Train games. Many of them are so-so.

One game that my five year old and I play is Co-op Train Game. It's a downloadable game available here on the Geek. It won't have nice components, but it is pretty fun to play, especially with younger kids. It's something different anyway.

You can play a simplified game of Ticket to Ride with 6 year olds.

For my 3 year old, we play Ticket to Ride with an open hand so I can guide him (Hmmm, you have 2 black... if you take these 2 more blacks now, you can build this section - do you want to do that?), and I tell him which route to build. Works well, though it may not be "fun" for the adults, but it's great for the kids.

Actually, I think 6 year olds can play TtR proper!

I'll second the vote for Co-op Train Game. With a little bit of cleverness, you could make the graphics look like the Thomas characters (which I'll bet the author intended, but did not do for legal reasons). It can be played in different ways too. Smaller children are happy just to go around the track, while those slightly older may take up the challenge of moving the most amount of cargo before sundown.

I would also agree with this, although our family has Trans Europa.
