This is a great game for both youngsters and the not so youngsters. The rules are very simple to learn and should be no problem to explain to a little one. The game does seem to expect that the reader at least has some gaming experiance already. Though I do believe that that is the target market, "Gamer Parents".
About the only thing I didn't like was that characters max out at 3rd level, and with the way level bonuses work I can't really see any way around that. Once a group of 3 or 4 characters reach 3rd level they can take on just about anything.
Oh and one thing I can't work out, a dwarf has protection 6, a Giant is -3 to hit a dwarf, so even with the Giants attack of D6+1 it still can't roll enough to hit the dwarf.
This I believe is the only time this is a problem, until Magic Armor is found, then there are lots of the monsters that could not longer hit either the Dwarf or Knight. But these can be house ruled easy enough, just thought I would point out where problems still exsisted in the rules.
Any how, I do hope that this game gets another book or two with more monsters and maybe some sort of system for added levels.
I bought this as the bundle with the Arion stand-ups, which I also thought were great, but had a issue or two with as well. I do hope that if there is another book that it will also have stand-ups to go with it.

These are great for my youngster to get her interested in 'daddy's silly games'. I can let her just play with a few sets of these printed out as toys until she decides to learn to play with rules.
My only complant is with a few of the map tiles. A couple lack the square grid, making them rather hard to use along with the other gridded tiles. Also one of the tiles (a cave entrance maybe?) seems to have very strange coloring to it. Not entirely sure what to make of it.
I have a few dozen of other sets by Arion Games and get lots of use from them all.
I like this one more so due to the cartoon like coloring. I hope that Arion Games and BHP can work together on another book with more monsters and stand-ups.
Would have given a 5 if it wasn't for those problem tiles.

Apologies for the problems you have had with the Cave Tiles. I will look into this, fix the problem and get the set updated ASAP.

We aim to please. As to more advenuters, we should have some more out this summer, and we are also starting work on a modern horror version of the system and then a super hero solo game system. So there should be lots to play with in the months and years to come. |

I bought this set as soon as I could. I wish I could have got it even sooner. This is an awesome set of modular terrain. You can build huge towers like the one in the free set. You can build massive forts and even a cool hauler truck. I have built enough of this stuff to cover my gaming table a couple of times over.<br><br>
<b>LIKED</b>: Great graphics. Very simple builds. Modular so you can build whatever you like.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: I liked it all!!!<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Wonderful. So many bad guys! This has to be one of the best sets yet. <br><br>
<b>LIKED</b>: A page of just bad guy/gal foot soldiers.
A wicked looking gangster boss.
A Dark Lord to rule the universe.
Whats not to like?<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: When I printed these out they seemed to come out a bit smaller then the rest of the sets. Not really a problem, just changed the print scale, but unexpected. <br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

We hope you enjoy it when you do get a chance to play it and we're glad you're satisfied. I would like to mention that we don't claim the game is suitable for solo play, though that could be an interesting idea for future expansions. |
