D&D: The Adventure Begins – A New Intro Board Game
Looking for a new way to explore D&D? Try Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Begins, a co-op board game that condenses D&D into a bite-sized chunk.
It’s no secret that D&D is more popular than it ever has been, and that it’s largely due to the fact that it’s able to reach a wider audience than ever before. You can go into Target and buy the D&D Essentials Kit–that kind of reach is guaranteed to bring new players crashing headlong into the game. But for an audience that’s totally unfamiliar with RPGs? Something like a board game–something like this new board game–captures the experience in a more familiar setting.
For one, it’s entirely cooperative. You might have concepts like “the DM” but it’s co-op and every player takes a turn reading aloud scenario cards that dictate what your adventurers have run into. What about the idea of levelling up? That’s here too, along with iconic monsters, magic items, and more. You’ll pick an adventure, pick one of four different heroes, and take them a-questing. And while it’s not HeroQuest (indeed, nothing is), it’s still a fun way to get new folks playing.
