Dungeons & Dragons + Imagination
My seven year old son and I have been enjoying playing a new board game together. This is a new game from Wizards of the Coast called Wrath or Ashardalon a game based on Dungeons and Dragons.
The game is about a team of heros from one to five that travel into the Firepeak mountain for many adventures. My son's favorite hero is the Half-Orc Rogue named Tarak. I usually change up my hero from game to game sometimes I am the Dragonborn Wizard or the Human Cleric.
What is interesting about this game and how my son plays it is that he introduces a lot of "role-playing". When he attacks a monster, it isn't just roll a dice, he sometimes acts it out or tells me what he is doing. "Dad, I'm gonna use my crossbow and shot this monster then run over here."
I am a fan of Dungeons & Dragons and role playing as I love to wander around in my imagination. My son is now bringing me back into those fantastic adventures as we play this game together.
