Tabletop RPGs for kids and teens: A sortable list of amazing games!

This sortable list of tabletop RPGs made for all ages, kids, and teens is to help you find a game that works for you and the kids you are introducing TTRPGs to! I want to help you find a game that you and your kids will both enjoy playing together!

Jump to: The list of tabletop RPGs!

The purpose of TTRPGkids is to help you bring quality tabletop RPGs (from indie games to D&D) to your kids!

Check out these other popular TTRPGkids topics too!

My goal with this kid, teen, and all-ages tabletop RPG list:

My goal is to try out the games on this list and write reviews on this site so you know what to expect with the games you’re considering. This way, you have one central place to go to for finding kid and teen-focused tabletop RPGs and can get all the information that you need.

I play and review several games per month, so stay tuned on the site or get on board for the monthly newsletter to help keep up to date. I have mostly started with tabletop RPGs rated for either all-ages or for very young kids since my kid (and primary co-playtester) falls into that range. As opportunities present to set up games with older kids, and as my kid grows, I am expanding upward to make sure I cover game reviews for every age group.

Ratings and mechanics in tabletop RPGs for kids, teens, and all ages:

I determined the sortable features by the creator’s information (either on their game description or by asking them) or by 3rd party game reviews (if the the information was not otherwise available). So, the ratings and mechanics for each tabletop RPG on the list are my best estimate from my research and information available online to help you find a game, but they may differ from your views. Before introducing a new tabletop RPG to your child, you should also research the game to make sure it is appropriate for you and your child’s specific needs and requirements.

For age ranges, tabletop RPGs labeled “all ages” mean they were intended for a wide audience (kids and adults) and shouldn’t contain any content that isn’t also OK for most kids. However, as stated above, this can vary, so please use your judgement as well.

As I playtest and review each tabletop RPG with my kid, I will update the ratings and mechanics in the list so that it’s easier for you to pinpoint what’s right for your particular kid.

Recommendations and corrections to the tabletop RPG list:

If you have recommendations for additional tabletop RPGs to add or if you see a correction is needed, please contact me through the site’s contact form. I am happy to make updates and want all my information to be correct.

For recommendations, this list’s goal is to have tabletop RPGs (or game supplements) that were made for kids, teens, or all ages (i.e. with the intent of being accessible to both children and adults) versus games made for adults that one could say are OK for some kids and teens to play or that you have played with kids and teens. I am willing to branch out and will research all recommendations, but I am noting here in case something doesn’t ultimately end up on the list.

  1. I’m totally new to RPG but looking into it for or 3 yr old and 8 year old (who has a delay in social-relational skills).
    I’m hoping to build the boys’ relational connection and practice our social skills. Can you recommend a very simple rpg game for our 3 year old (and me!)? And maybe one rpg both of them can play?

    1. Hello! And yes, I can definitely make a rec! For a 3yo and 8yo playing in the same game, the Family Fantasy RPG series has tiered mechanics so one kid can play a rules-lite version and the other can play the D&D 5e-ish version at the same time. Dino Riderz, in particular, was a big hit with my kid. I would also recommend that you check out Starsworn too – the mechanics are really easy to pick up and the story should be great for both a 3yo and 8yo to connect with. I hope that helps, and let me know if you want more TTRPG recs or recs for specific interests (like superheroes, cats, etc)!
