Seconded, on both counts. Have played through much of "Island of Lost 
Spells" with my family. My wife, the neophyte referee, loves it. The 
5, 9, and 13 year olds can actually be induced to do their chores 
early to leave time to play it. That says a lot. Of course, I'm 
having a ball!

Well, not entirely true, the 9 year old would have run home at the 
first encounter.

The 5 year old popped up at an early encounter with "I think I should 
plug that <unknown quantity> with a heavy crossbow bolt!" (to which I 
replied, "*Well said*, lad!"). It worked great. However, he seems to 
have learned the lesson too well. At the next serious encounter, he 
repeated "I take out my crossbow and shoot the <incredibly powerful 
and dangerous foe>!" and we all had to shush him and inform him that 
sometimes, negotiation was the better part of valor.

So the 13 year old is really the only one capable of leading.

But very true, inasmuch as my "shield bearer" character is taxing my 
ability to protect the others and take the brunt of most of the 
dangerous attacks so they can have fun and get experience (both xP 
and game-playing time) without biting the dust myself.
