Lego Heroica (English/Deutsch)

Woohoo, I am testing another product again. This time though I am employing to smaller testers - Robert and Richard! You see we are testing a Lego game that is coming to the stores in September.

There are a series of FOUR games that can be played separately or combined to make one large world, that you can play. In our test package we got two of the four games. The largest game "Fortaan" and one of the smaller games "Walldürn".

After unpacking the boys couldn't wait to start playing. But first you have to build the world. Robert had a brilliant time doing that - he just loves his Lego! Unfortunately we couldn't finish building or start playing on the day the package came, but as soon as we had the time, Robert went straight to the box to finish building it up. And today we got to play together.

Robert absolutely LOVES the game, I found the instructions a bit confusing at times, and also very open to interpretation. But I think that was what Robert loved. And I suppose as long as you stick with the rules you make up, then "no problem", in fact it is a good way to strengthen kids imagination! To start with we only played the small game, and this afternoon when Richard comes home from Kindergarden, we will be playing the big and small game combined. And then I will be able to tell people how well it works with two headstrong boys playing at the same time! ;o)
Oh, and in case you are wondering, where Richard's comments are, he is still at Kindergarden, Robert is home with bronchitis!

Jubel, ich darf wieder testen! Naja eigentlich hab ich zwei kleinere Tester beauftragt - Robert & Richard. Denn dieses mal testen wir ein neues Lego-Spiel "Heroica", es wird im September in den Handel kommen.

Es gibt VIER Spiele in der Serie, die alle einzeln oder zusammen gespielt werden können. Wir haben zwei der vier Spiele in unserem Testpaket bekommen, Fortaan (das größte der Spiele) und Walldürn.


Nach dem Auspacken konnten die Jungs es nicht abwarten zu spielen. Zuerst aber muß aufgebaut werden. Robert hatte super viel Spaß beim Aufbauen - aber kein Wunder er liebt LEGO! Leider konnten wir mit dem Spielen nicht gleich loslegen, aber sobald wir Zeit hatten, ging es los. 

Robert LIEBT das Spiel, ich fand die Anleitung zum Teil etwas verwirrend, und offen für verschiedene eigene Interpretationen, aber ich glaube genau das fand Robert gut! Ich denke mal, solange man bei seinen Regeln bleibt ist alles erlaubt! Genial eigentlich für die Förderung der Fantasie der Kinder! 
Wir haben zunächst nur das kleine Spiel gespielt, aber heute mittag wenn Richard aus dem Kindergarten kommt, werden wir beide Spiele verbinden und zu dritt spielen. Dann kann ich auch mal berichten, wie das Spielen mit beiden zusammen gelaufen ist!

Und falls ihr Euch fragt, warum ich nicht über Richard's Reaktion berichte, der ist noch im Kindergarten, Robert ist allein zu Hause, da er eine Bronchitis auskuriert!
