Be prepared... For a confusing game!

After an hour of trying to initially set up the game board. We are finally are ready to start playing when we began to read the instructions of how to take a turn. It was at that point that the whole family; an 8 year old, 10 year old and 2 adults all became overwhelmed and further confused by pieces, actions and complex instructions that sadly we gave up playing. We had such high hopes as we are huge Disney fans! Sadly I'm not sure we will ever understand how to properly play. There is no way a group of kids 8+ could figure this out.

Way to complicated

We tried this game with my 12 year old, my mom and my husband and I. It took over a half hour to set up and the first problem was the set up and labeling of the different pieces were terrible. Finally got it set up what we think was correct and tried playing a turn and it kind of made sense but you need to track both your sidekick and your villains heart points but nothing is provided for you too use to keep track. After of spending over a hour with set up and playing we have up. The concept is good and sounded fun but the actual game and instructions are terrible and make no sense. We are huge Disney Fans and are avid board game players and have played several cooperative games that my daughter had been able to play for years and were above her age rating yet this game is rated 8+ and a 12 year old two adults in there 40s and one in her 60s were not able to figure this out. The instructions are huge and we found a mistakes in them as well, like the damage your sidekick can make it says top left hand corner, well there is no number there! So glad that we didn't waste money on this! My daughter was so disappointed and none of us even want to try playing again. Huge waste of time and I do not recommend at all!
