Kids like complexity. Ever try to play Pokemon?

Just how young are these kids of yours, geoschmo?
Is it ethical to hook a 4-year-old on 4X?
("The first game's free, kid.")

Nobody actually plays Pokemon DMM. It's just a scam to get people to buy a bunch of cards.

They are older then 4, but there is a lot of stuff in this game. I'm thinking they'd get a little overwhelmed at first and maybe lose interest. By giving them a less complex version I hope to get them hooked on the 4X philosophy, without drowning them in the micromanagment. I expect they will move on to the full game fairly quickly.

They could probably understand it enough to play against each other, or against the AI. But I wanted to boil it down a bit so they could play against me and still have a good time. They are pretty competative and really enjoy it when they can beat the old man.
