I'm interested in playing some games with our very young (16 months) son.

I think he's a little young for most things yet - I'm familiar with Old Maid, Dominoes, and similar games that involve a little bit of matching; those seem like they will be good points of entry for him shortly. Marbles, while also great, involves tiny pieces that can be swallowed.

I want to avoid games like Candyland and probably even Chutes and Ladders - they annoy me. :-) Other games with a lot of cards or paper products involved are probably right out - they'll get slobbered on or destroyed. Small parts get eaten.

What are some concrete, not commonly known games that might be interesting to him?

    Hey Elijah, sorry I've closed your question. Recommendation questions are not a good fit for a Q/A site and we have banned them. These questions tend to devolve into long lists with no real way to vote on the answers which interacts poorly with our reputation system. I hope you understand and stick around.

    That "other site" that focuses on lists of games has several on this topic. You can try boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/33475/… or try searching GeekLists for things like "Toddler".

I was going to say CandyLand and Chutes and Ladders, because as annoying as they are they are still a huge hit with my 4 year old. I am hoping that she will soon be old enough for Catan Junior! She already wants to play Catan with Mama.
