Females, in general, often prefer word games...like Boggle or Scrabble... from my experiennce anyway.. though there are girls that like Chess and other such games. Usually girls don't enjoy strategy games as much. I would think girls would enjoy a role playing game.. (a game with social interaction)..just my throughts...
(NanoFictionary would be a good idea, I bet, or maybe Chrononauts)

Don,
Now you have touched on something that has been a real puzzle for me. In my after school game club I only have a couple girls who regularly come. I have had several come for a meeting or two and never return. Partially I think it is due to the nature of how a single girl showing up at a predominantly male club was treated and I had a good long talk with all my kids about this behavior and have seen some improvements.
More than that though is the fact that many of the games played just don't seem to interest the girls that much. I struggle with this to try to understand the needs a young lady might have that could be fulfilled through a gaming session (either through the game itself or through the social interaction within the game). Interestingly enough the girls have enjoyed two LL games more than anything else we have played. Treehouse and Fluxx have both strongly appealed to the girls who come regularly. Bang! and Hex Hex haven't so much.
