i plan on buying a starter kid for my 7-year-old godson for his birthday in july, with the dark alchemy campaign for coop as soon as it is available in german (if it ever is). it's not a real problem to use the translation of the spells on new cards and maybe add some more cinematic descriptions for him to imagine what happens. after all, style > substance
i addition, a warbandplastic box, some warhounds, a mage and an apprentice should be perfect - i've already brought him and his dad to really love x-wing, the next logical step, imho, is to show them a real tabletop... so, i'm really thankful for your insights here!
