20m - 45m
2 - 4 Players

Hand management games are games with cards in them that reward players for playing the cards in certain sequences or groups. The optimal sequence/grouping may vary, depending on board position, cards held and cards played by opponents. Managing your hand means gaining the most value out of available cards under given circumstances. Cards often have multiple uses in the game, further obfuscating an "optimal" sequence.
Hand Management
Play occurs upon a modular board that is composed of multiple pieces, often tiles or cards. In many games, board placement is randomized, leading to different possibilities for strategy and exploration.Some games in this category have multiple boards which are not used simultaneously, preserving table space. Unused boards remain out of play until they are required.

This is essentially a kid's first dungeon crawler. There's some light resource management where you collect power, wisdom or magic cards by exploring dungeon tiles. Those cards can then be used to "scare away" monsters or acquire a gem. The game is largely cooperative with kind kid cards given for helping another player but there is an ultimate winner based on who gets the most stars for defeating monsters, collecting treasure and completing very rudimentary quests (e.g. have 3 magic cards in your hand). Components are great for the most part. The big chunky figures are fun to use, the gems really appeal to kids, as does the treasure draw bag. A few downsides; it's got a fairly big table presence, especially if you throw in an expansion. The box insert is not the best (it's hard to get all the cards out as the finger holes are not deep enough). The icons on some of the cards can be very tiny and hard to distinguish, especially for a 5 year old. The box says 5+ and I think most 5 year olds will have zero challenge figuring out this game. My daughter is 5 and it took her two turns to grasp everything. On it's own, I'd probably rank this lower as the core gameplay is extremely simple and it's a bit long for a game where you're almost always guaranteed to win. It can really feel like you're just going through the motions. However, when you add in the Trials of Tolk expansion with it's mini campaign, this game really starts to shine. Having a goal, unique events in a dungeon and story elements help keep the game fresh so I would highly recommend getting The Trials Of Tolk The Wise expansion to go with this. All in all, it's a great introductory dungeon crawler for young children and there's nothing else like it out there.

Outstanding kids game!!! Best kids game I own. Even my 3 yr old can play with me with some guidance!!

Great competitive kids game that nonetheless rewards players for helping each other. Very random, but without dice - here, you chose the card, so there is some feeling of player agency. This also makes it quite possible for younger kids to win. Teaches movement on a board and a bit of hand management, along with "quest" order completion. Fun for a while, but was supplanted quickly once I got Adventure Tactics to the table. The Trials of Tolk the Wise expansion would probably give it more legs, but we were ready to move on.
