I, however, don't think that the average person being introduced to the game with this boxed set can make a well informed decision whether to continue on with the game after advancing a single level.Also, maybe I'm upset that WotC didn't take the opportunity to try to build a simpler rules framework for the younger set. I believe that there is a market for 9- to 11-year-olds to jump into D&D. I know TSR once thought so, their old Red Box Basic D&D had an entry age at 10-years-old and older. WotC has this new boxed set pegged at 12-years-old and older... and this iteration is actually a simpler set of rules than the old Red Box Basic D&D! But the fact that it is really meant as a vehicle for the relatively more complex Core Rules is made clearer by this boxed set's ending its usefulness at 2nd level.</blockquote>
