Three or four players is probably optimal (though I understand wanting to start small) because splitting the skills between two might make it feel a little too "super heroic."JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954394848487110923.post-48545183615633642942015-02-17T15:27:49.548-05:002015-02-17T15:27:49.548-05:00I used to not watch TV.

I wouldn't say I was efficient, my problem is focusing on the main details and not get sidetracked by something shiny such as a cool idea that kinda sorta fits. Glad you like it, it's a lot of fun to make.

I am not very efficient with my prep time I guess! Also, I think when my kid is old enough to bathe herself and put herself to bed, I will spend much more time on this kind of prep. It's SO GREAT!chattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539709430526111912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954394848487110923.post-64894592033984796992015-02-17T09:25:00.468-05:002015-02-17T09:25:00.468-05:00I find a ton of great props at estate sales.
