Others who know that we are playing have dropped major hints that they would like to learn as well.All of them are parents with kids.We have a regular weekly/bi-weekly game going and all of our kids aged from 4 to 7 knows that mummy and daddy play 'Dungeons'. They are totally curious about it. They are fascinated by the dice, the figures, the 3d encounter settings built to represent ruined castles. I've played a reduced 'Dora the Explorer' version of it with my son. He was totally into it. Some of the other pàrents' kids have asked me to explain how it works. If I was to organise a kids and parents game, the kids would have to team up with the parents or we'd have far too many players.I kind of compare it to skipping ropes, knuckle bones and the game 'elastics'. They are things I grew up with, games kids played at lunch time at school, or in my case with my 3 sisters. Kids don't even know about them anymore. The have the Wii, the TV and the PSP. But as soon as you introduce them to those games, they are onto them like white on rice. D&D is the same, as soon as kids get exposure to it, they are sharpening their swords and out crossing troll infested bridges, hunting dragons!D&D is an awesome game in all its many forms. Kids love games. A game like D&D can't help but attract new kids.</blockquote>
