If you want to use the "funny dice" you can always make up a house rule for them (like, instead of 2D6 you get a D10 then a D12, etc.).
You may find it online, any demo pdf will do if you translate it a bit.

Abstract Dungeon is very simple and could be adapted to any universe in which resource/exhaustion management is dominant. You may use it to simulate a dungeon (obviously), an expedition, an extended war, a resistance cell...If you want to use the "funny dice" you can always make up a house rule for them (like, instead of 2D6 you get a D10 then a D12, etc.).

I would try Maze Rats. You can download a free PDF version to have a look. Character sheet would only require a few words to be translated if you want it in non-English, or just use the English ones. Game should work well as long as the GM can read English and decide on how to translate a few words.

I went to a convention and played in a D&D tournament in 1990 set in the world of the City State...
I won best role player but more importantly I met the girl I would marry (and still be married to today) at that convention so the setting (even though I've never read it) has a place in my personal history 🙂

I have two stepsons (11 and 9) and a daughter (5). I'd like to try to steer them, at least the boys so far, to RPGs. Which system would be good for that?
I have Pathfinder Roleplaying Game (1st Edition) (including Beginner Box) and Fate Core, but they are in English and kids don't speak English. Well, the older boy does barely, but that's like nothing. Other than that I have two RPGs in Czech language (Dračí doupě and Příběhy Impéria - the first one is pretty much a DnD-lookalike with it's own heap of quirks and the other one is basically FATE in a Victorian-era steampunk-with-fantasy setting).
I am aware that none of the systems may be good for them, so I am open to any suggestions from y'all.
