what is the future of educational boardgames as kids are more drawn to video games rather than have fun/learn?

First off let me say that I don’t homeschooI. I do believe that kids retain more of what they learn when they have fun doing it. What is the best way to achieve this? I believe it is through educational boardgames. I want to know what you think. Computers can’t take over everything, I hope. I go to WalMart and they still have a boardgame section, so someone is buying these products. What they have very little of is educational games, though. This is why I was thinking about starting a website geared towards nothing but educational games and learning toys. This is a business that I can be proud to own and it wouldn’t embarrass my mother (she watches me). What I do not want to do is invest my start-up capital in an industry that has a scary prognosis. I believe I’d succeed, though because I love the product. This may not pay the overhead, however. Please lend me some advice. If enough people want it, I will do it. I’ll have games that you can’t find anywhere else and no Monopoly. Thanks

Can anyone tell me a educational kids computer game?

I want an educational computer game for my grade 6 child, she is going to secondary school soon and is going for a scholarship.I must say she is not challenged at her school, not to boast or anything.I want not an online game or website, but a game I can download for free.
She is already learning another language and is going to tuition centers after school.She is doing extensions, and is also learning two musical instruments, violin and keyboard.She does afterschool programs and I’m very impressed with her progress.
That is the standard she is currently at.I want to further her learning in a computer game that is appropriate for her age and grade level, but is also a challenge.I want to download it on the internet for free.It would be a big help if you could do this for me.
Needs:
A grade 6 educational computer game
Extra:
A website I can download it from
~Thanks a lot
