Excellent video. I'm a D&D player but for the kids, your explanation is tops.

[@kevindurango8069]

Thank you for running the whole thing through. This is the perfect game to introduce my kids to dnd. Keep making these videos!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Kevin Durango Always glad to help bring kids into the gaming hobby! Good luck and thanks for watching! :)

[@saulcayson1791]

you all prolly dont care at all but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I love any tips you can give me!

[@DecayLethal]

Just bought this game it is very addictive, as an adult that had never played DnD before I love it!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Decay Lethal Glad you are enjoying the game, and thanks for watching! :)

[@jameslawson7970]

Dale, thanks for confirming my thoughts on this one! Great vid as always.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@P4n9 You are welcome, and thanks for watching!

[@CollectionTHX1138]

Thanks for the good job of satisfying my curiosity. I guess it's designed to be sort of a party (pun intended) role playing game with kids according to a lot of review I've read. You were quick with your descriptions of what a character might do without getting silly. I like the modular player boards, uniquely shaped map tiles (design is sort of like the Unmatched game) and the DM monster & encounter deck tray. The art is appropriately colorful. Everything is easy to see and read.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Collection THX1138 A "Party" game with kids ... I see what you did there. :D It really is a light cooperative game with good design and components especially for the price. Thanks for watching!

[@dwsonye]

My kids love this game!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@D Sonye Glad your kids are enjoying the game, and glad you are bringing them into the board game hobby!! :)

Hey Dale thanks for the play through. I like this game from the looks of it. I like the rotating DM I think they did a good job with that for a board game perspective. Think its very clever. What are you thoughts on a rotating DM since you play the original DnD? Also it seems like they made it very streamlined and made it easier to play than the original DnD board games like Wrath of Ashadalon or Mad Mage. Since its so easy to play my only concern is the replay ability when people get more experience, however good for kids though. I have a hunch the DnD board games is still the best in this DnD genre. Thanks for the play through still waiting for my game :D

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Mr. A Lee I like the rotating DM for the storytelling part of the game and the target audience for this game, which I assume to be family games with adults and younger kids. I would definitely still recommend the other DnD games over this unless the goal was to bring in younger players. Thanks for watching!

[@cracknoir8397]

must be a big dungeon room to have that roc in there

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@crack noir Dungeon not drawn to scale. ;)

[@anthonywebster2909]

Is there a second game like this?

[@michaelhill6453]

Thanks for the video Dale. Good for younger kids, 7-8+, rather 10+. Aside from the terrible puns on almost every card, which probably means I won't play with my group. It seems bland repetitive. Those long battles would challenge the attention span of some players and should they gravitate to D&D fifth edition they'd be shocked by the relative complexity compared to this game and how largely different it is.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Michael Hill Thanks for watching! It is definitely a "younger" gamer/player type game in my opinion, and agreed, a board game won't really prepare a new player to playing a full RPG ... but it's a start. :)

[@dwizayekti]

look this game

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

:)

[@billytsik]

As a noob i don't get why to go side ways to fight monsters instead of going strait to avoid getting damage. You do it just for the leveling, in order to beef up for the final boss ?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Billy Tsik Basically, that's it ... to level up. It's an introductory type game, so not much strategy. A little role play, and a little roll dice. Happy Gaming! :)

[@billytsik]

@@DaletheCasualGamer Ok, great, got the game delivered yesterday and today gonna play with my 5 and 8 year old. Thanks for the video man.

[@nicstevenson2415]

So if you move to a non-monster space, you still fight a monster if that's the next card?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Nic Stevenson Yep, but there's a chance it might not be a monster. ;)

[@nicstevenson2415]

@@DaletheCasualGamer for sure, so what is the benefit of going to a monster space?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@@nicstevenson2415 Trying to level up your abilities, getting coins and cards, to be better prepared for the final fight. Poor monsters. ;) Hope that helps. :)

[@nicstevenson2415]

@@DaletheCasualGamer Awesome, thats what I suspected. Thank you!

[@beaulong3270]

Only downside I see is there is no choice in movement. We all just move together? Need more choices.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Beau Long You can split the party ... but I see no reason to do that. :)

[@beaulong3270]

@@DaletheCasualGamer just makes it a solo game then I would think. One person moving all pieces in one direction at the same time. I ordered the game so disappointed that the kids really don’t get any choice of where to go and what to do. Just hoping it turns out to be more than what it’s looking like right now.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@@beaulong3270 It's a "basic" game, but for the price point, I hope you get a few good games in with your kids.

[@Castorshells]

I don't see you playing this ever again. Hope you enjoyed, def not for me.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Shawn Gabrish I'd only play this if someone brought their kid and wanted to play ... but this game won't be staying in my collection. I do like it for what it is, and for the price point the components are good. :)
