Number of Players

By Big_Daddy2, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Hello:

I am new to the forums and I tried using the SEARCH option but I get no answer to my question: I am planning to buy the core game to play with my daughter, and I was wondering if it is a good game to play with only two people or do we need to get at least one more?

Thanks for your time and help.

Its fine with two players. I would have the hero player just controll all the heroes. Perhaps start with two heroes, then use three. Three heroes can complete a dungeon, two would struggle, with one, its not really possible. Nothing wrong with one player controlling multiple heroes though.

I'd suggest giving her three or four heroes at firts, depending on whether her gaming skills are on par with yours or not. There's no sense in discouraging her in the first game, see?

Or have her play the OL and you the Heroes.

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I was wondering if she could play with several heroes and now I find out that it is encouraged. :D

And, by the way, I will be real lenient towards her, we actually want to enjoy the game so I will make it easier for her on the first games, making it more difficult as time goes by. ;)
