Thanks everyone.
I ordered/paid for Heroquest today, and Im excited for when it arrives in a week or two. I think we will start with the first quest in the book, and if it’s too hard we will move to custom quests. I don’t think I will be changing rules on the fly, but maybe it will be helpful. The game has healthy competition, and I want the children to lose sometimes, but I also don’t want them to be slaughtered every game, so we shall see what happens.
Thanks again.
