Hi all, hope this is the right place to put a question like this.
I am looking for a potential roleplaying game to play with my kid (9 years), but there is absolutely no interest for anything fantasy or sci-fi. Just a love of anything animals and recently we discovered Everdell as a cool boardgame for our family. Root is another boardgame that in style would fit our interests.
Does anyone know of any roleplaying game featuring animals having jobs, building communities? Fighting monsters or evil dudes is not completely off the table I think, I am sure I could tone that down myself if necessary. Bonus plus if it features art like the two games I mentioned.
Thanks!


In addition to what others have mentioned, Mausritter might fit the bill!
Interesting, thanks! And hilariously close in name to the other game mentioned, Mouseguard.
I imagine that’s intentional. :P “Mausritter” means “Mouse Knight.” IIRC, it was also inspired by Mouse Guard and Redwall, but is mechanically closer to old-school renaissance games.
