I second the suggestion to buy what you like, perhaps with a nod to a game that the kids may enjoy/ family friendly theme. My experience has been that the kids will casually play what you have but don’t expect them to be as enthusiastic as you . I bought a Thor Bred EM because my daughter is a horse rider.... she couldn’t have cared less so it sat.
When kids come over, they play Atlantis EM, Star Trek LE and really love AFMLE. But, the ‘64 ball bowler is the real hit.
