Hasbro Gaming Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Begins, Cooperative Fantasy Board Game, Fast Entry to The World of D&D, Family Game for 2-4 Players, 10 and Up

I bought this on a whim for 12 bucks and have played through it three times now with my kids. We've all had a blast! If you're looking for deep gameplay, varied combat and compelling storylines... this ain't it. This is more of a party game. The rules are paired way down for this game and what's left is just enough to facilitate silliness, storytelling and fun. It isn't complex, nor is it difficult. Really, in our time playing, the whole game hinges on the creative attacks for each of the characters. All the characters are basically the same in terms of abilities with little variation, but they each have a creative attack. There are backpack cards for instance, but you have to pick a character that has a creative attack that lets you utilize the items in your backpack so you can describe to the group how you're using them to attack. If you see a character that has a cool weapon or want one that let's you cast spells, look at their creative attack to make sure the character uses it's weapon or casts spells. Then you can spin a tale of great heroism and roll to see if it works out. In our play throughs we've only used the basic attacks three or four times. The rest are creative attacks, special attacks, or items... of which there are really only 3 types. It's also fun for everyone to get a chance to DM. You draw either a monster or scenario card and read it to the group. It's always nice to break up to the gameplay and do a little damage to your team. Yes, it could get repetitive. We've only played three times now, but with the creative attacks and lots crazy storytelling, we've managed to have lots of fun so far and already have the board setup to play again. Minus one star because it only came with three health trackers instead of four.

I bought this for my 6-year-old son and I to play as an introduction to D&D/role-playing games. This was absolutely perfect for a young beginner and is such a wholesome and fun game. He talks about it non-stop and is always asking to play again and again. One session typically takes us about 60-90 minutes, and even if a card or scenario is repeated, he enjoys finding a new way to approach the scenario. I can't recommend this enough and am so happy with my purchase.

Got this game for my son as a Christmas gift. The game box did have some damage on the bottom corner. The game was missing only 1 card (came with 7 backpack cards and there should be 8). If the damage was worse and more pieces were missing I’d have given it less stars. We played Christmas night and had so much fun! Pretty quick to get into and very easy to add your own creativity to the scenarios along your adventure. Our one game ended up lasting 4.5 hours since we were thoroughly describing our actions. A really wonderful treat for fans of role playing tabletop games. It’s a bummer that it’s missing a card but we decided that it didn’t ruin the game (if it were a gatekeeper or boss card it would have). I’d highly recommend this game to anyone interested but will say based on how ours arrived and the reviews of others, maybe look for it at your local game store instead of purchasing here.

I have not played D&D since I was in grade school. I have two boys, 8 and 5, and thought that this would be a fun game to start them with. I watched plenty of reviews on YouTube and”how tos” before cracking it open to play it. My boys were very excited to play, and although I had watched about an hours worth of “how to” video, I was still intimidated by the game. I think it’s then D&D name that makes it intimidating. We setup the game fairly quickly and started the game. I played the shortened version at first suggested by a YouTuber, so that the game was not repetitive. The boys and I ran through the game fairly quickly and they were very excited to play. I loved how it makes them use their imagination and come up with escape plans on how much o dodge attacks or weather or not to help a monster. I remained the dungeon master through out the game, and didn’t pass it around, just so we could get used to the game play. My 5 YO also loved this game. The best part was watching them pick up the game on a Saturday when they had a friend over and my eldest was excited to be the dungeon master and the three of them played quietly together for about an hour until they slayed the final boss character. This game is very easy to pick up and play.

Bought this as a Christmas present for my nephew. He was delighted when he tried the board game out with the family.

Played through 2 of the scenarios with my 8 year old yesterday and had great fun. The rules are simple enough for younger kids and the overall game allows the flavour of RP to come through. The co-op nature and switching of DM / PC roles throughout I think is a great idea. Adult players will definitely find this game over simplified but playing it with your kids is lots of fun

Produto veio com metade das cartas repetidas. Tive que devolver, pois não existia a opção de trocar por outro.

This is a great introduction to the D&D universe! The games/campaigns last around and hour/hour and a half. A really fun family game. My 12 year old loves it and has had friends ask for him to bring it along on visits too. Would recommend.

Excelente!! se me perdieron las cartas por allí pero Muy buena introducción para los jugadores nuevos de D&D.
