This was in the catalog (different name, same art but some is rearranged):

Interesting how the cover looks like the world's most dedicated and elaborate children's drawing. So is this aimed at getting kids on board?

The 'Hasbro Gaming' branding telling me they want this sold at Wal-Mart and Target alongside Monopoly and Clue...

So... probably?

I like the bit where it says ‘fight monsters, collect treasure..... and not die’.

Shades of Second Edition...Does it have a CD?

CD? The real question is: does it come with a VHS tape?

 

[Sacrosanct]

Perfect timing. I know some people who just weren’t interested in D&D because of the intimidation of the rules, so this would be a great introductory method.

I still remember watching that tape over and over when I was a kid. I would always cast a "pause video" spell on it when the narrator said not to let anyone else see the secrets of being a "Dragon Master" (i.e. GM), infuriating my kid brother to no end. He's still never seen the rest of it.

 

[Sorcerers Apprentice]

Huh. They're really pushing the new player angle huh? I guess that's working really well for them. I wonder if it will be much different from the other co-op dungeon crawl boardgames.

I would expect it to be a simplified 5e rather than simplified 4e.

 

[Salthorae]

This kind of reminds me of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game.

I'll definitely check it out for my kids...

 

[Zaukrie]

If I could find a board game that was more like DnD than the ones out there now, I think I could get people to play it. Which might get them to play DnD....we'll see what this is like.
