He rolled whenever I thought he shouldn't immediately succeed; hard actions required a 5, easy actions required a 3. All attacks dealt one damage, and when he got more armor he added another hit point.The four-day game consisted of a foray into medieval China, where, with the help of a cricket and a pretty girl with a sword, he fulfilled the prophecy, defeated the evil emperor, and saved the people of China. The 5-year old in question had so much fun that he cried when the game and road trip ended, and followed me around for an hour begging to play more. Trust me on this: you can't do better than a dry erase board, a marker, and a six-sided die.</blockquote>
