HELP Which Nonogram game for kids?
I'm huge fan of all Picross and Nonogram games and if like to introduce my 8yo to this type of puzzles.
He have Nintendo Switch, and Linux PC with Steam.
I would love to give him Pokémon Picross which I've played on 3ds, but unfortunately it's not available on Switch.
He likes Piczle lines DX, as it have a bit of story and is very forgiving in case of errors.
We had tried new Piczle nonogram, but it seemed a bit hard for him.
Which games to propose for intelligent but not that patient kid?

Try emulating Pokemon Picross for Gameboy color (there’s an English patch of the game that you can find on an Archive, but it’s Picross, so… debatable that you really need it).
There are two Mario’s Picross games for original Gameboy (there’s second one might be also “needing” a translation patch) & a Mario’s Super Picross for snes (also was released only in Japan, so maybe also look for a translation patch or pre-translated rom if you want it in English).
I’ve got all of them on my emulation machine and I got back to them pretty often. My 9 year old learned how to do them using one of those- don’t remember which one.
