Having just come off of a great holiday weekend introducing my son to some FFG goodness he had not played I thought I'd sign up here.
I have been running ATOE for my kids for a couple of years - we ran four scenarios on our recent holiday in France - our first play with the coast
My son & I have also been playing a lot of CoPE but only the simple rules.
The dilemma was whether or not LNOE was too scary - he is a mature 7 year old - so we started the weekend with invasion - initially him playing the heroes and me the martians with a mid game swap for the beginners scenario - Dad's first victory of the weekend (and until late on Monday the only one)
We rapidly followed this with a 2nd scenario where my heroes only lasted a few turns.
After this there was no stopping him and LNOE (manor house) hit the table followed by FanG for two plays
There are now 2 FFG fans in the house
