To anyone who has the opportunity do not miss the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam.. it nicely shows his progression from “ the Potato Eaters “ through “ Sunflowers” and beyond.

@Vivaci Not sure what kind of games your son likes. But this is a bit of a weird one, unless you are searching for a 1 on 1 game. Because it's 1 on 1, you can't have 3 or 4 players or annything. But if you like a thinking game that is 1 vs 1, this is a pretty good one. When I was younger, I just played a lot of boardgames. I still like them, I just like to sit around a table with a couple of people and try to figure things out.
If your son likes to miniatures... then he's going to have some fun. Because the miniatures are all unpainted. You have to do everything yourself. Not everyone likes that... like me... I don't like it. I just bring it to a friend and he does it all for me and I pay him.
People that are good at painting and creating... well, they are going to have more fun then I have. I just play the game.

Do you know more about this? Looks like an early work made in the netherlands?

@usher Not really then. That's like 3 years before he died. And I just looked it up, he started painting around 1880. Just amazed that it looks so sereen, hence why I thought it might be an early work. His later stuff is ussually more vibrant with heavy colours, at least that's what I got from him.
But his sunflowers are for instance painted in 1887
Starry Night in 1889
The Yellow House in 1888
Café Terrace at Night in 1888
Starry night over the Rhone in 1888
Arles: View from the Wheat Fields in 1888
Bedroom in Arles 1888
... I think by looking it up, I kinda think that his most famous works are mostly made in that late periode. When the man was drinking himself to death with wine and absinth and annything else he could fine. According to Wiki his "breakthrough" came around 1888. Most people don't talk about stuff like "the potato eaters" from 1885.

@usher Don't know where you live. But I'm from the dutch speaking side of Belgium. And well, because e are dutch speakers, we get influences from the Netherlands pretty easily. And since Van Gogh is a dutch painter, and has popularity over there it trickles over to here too. So I kinda know the painting. But I rarely see it mentioned outside the dutch language area. But could be that I'm biased, just an impression.
