Injured children do tend to force a change in plans.<br /><br />Printing the tiles on different coloured card stock is inspired. Once you get five or so different levels, with multiple access points, on the table, it can start to get very confusing.<br /><br />Five levels is probably all you'll need to start; I find that the level five victory condition is about right for an evening's play. Going beyond that is usually best saved for a multi-session 'campaign' game.<br /><br />I've heard of Dungeoneer, but I'm not really familiar with it, other than my understanding that it was a card game.Sean Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16429301144221551751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7384696295028916937.post-69248127162956367402012-02-13T15:34:25.136-08:002012-02-13T15:34:25.136-08:00My daughter fell of a trampoline on the weekend so...My daughter fell of a trampoline on the weekend so we didn't get a chance to play. But my son is quite ethusiastic: he has seen the map tiles (I printed the first five levels in different colored card-stock so we dont have to put the level chits on the tiles, and matched the treasure cards to the level color) and can't wait to try it.<br /><br />Have you seen and/or tried Thomas Denmark's Dungeoneer game? It uses playing-card sized map tiles, monsters, treasure, etc.Aaron E.
