Simple, fun, and focused on what younger kids love about games; this game is almost everything it says it is. My 5 year old loves it as much as my 9 year old.
My children really love the setting and the fun of getting to create and imagine the effects of spells.
I have been into role playing games for a long time. In many way, I forgot how simple the games I started on were. I can certainly recommend this title.
I have one criticism for which I deduct one start.
There are absolutely no rules for resolving a conflict with violence. "But wait" you say, "this is a game for little children." Yes, some of which are little boys. Sometimes little boys want to smack things with sticks and attack the bad guy with a fireball. You can take your thought-control-anti-male-no-aggression-allowed values and stuff them in a conjured port-a-potty. The game, as written, will never please a boy. I have added rules very much like the health system in Zelda. You get 3 hearts. Damage can be 1/2 a heart or more. I made 3 generic spells with various difficulties that do damage. I added rules for attacking something with a weapon. I gave bad guys a few hearts of health. Everything plays great now.
That wasn’t so hard, now was it?
