I think she created a detailed world, filled with interesting characters (real, three-dimensional characters, with story arcs and everything). We played the first few rounds one roll and one player at a time, until they had a handle on the sometimes confusing rule that you give up stuff you don’t want and take stuff you do. My husband and I played the game several times in a night with each game lasting around 20 minutes, although I imagine a game with more players would last far longer. Long story short: I can appreciate her achievements and her talent, and I am in awe of what she has done for children's books in general.

It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. However, we have often played well beyond this score limit as you can reach this within a few games, and games can be over in a matter of minutes. I was a little worried that my five and seven year old would not be able to handle the real time aspect of rolling and re-rolling dice to get the items. And equally, in the game where you are looking to fill it, you forget the moments when you are empty.Welcome to the first post in the new "Late to the Game" series – a collection of posts featuring all sorts of games as I try to become a more complete "gamer.
