This is a very cute story-driven game about a school D&D...I mean, "Cats & Catacombs" club. It intermixes easy-to-navigate story elements with short, tactical strategy matches held using the C&C system. It has a lovely amount of depth that touches on things like having emotional intelligence, paying attention to cues from other people, empathy, understanding, and helping others become better versions of themselves. All while playing a storytelling game with miniatures within the video game itself! Play! The best way to learn anything.

It's been an enjoyable experience as an adult, but I would also very highly recommend this game for kids/teens, as I think they'll get exposed to a lot of good ideas while they're playing. Not only will this enhance the very important life skills I listed above, but it will also have them working on strategic planning and forethought at the same time in a very forgiving environment. Make a lot of poor choices and lose the battle? No problem! You can play it over and over again until you win with no penalty to you. A delightful learning environment. I bought a copy for my young teenage nephew, and I can't wait for him to get to play it!
