This is all very helpful. Thanks everyone! And how did you know Little Debbie Cakes were the way to my friend's heart?! Haha. I agree avoiding going over everything in the codex until they come up is for the best. It makes the game much easier to learn. I'm hoping there will be a couple more fans of the game by the end of the weekend!

Let us know how it goes!

It was a success! One friend bought the base game and both big box expansions. The other wants to play it soon with us to see what he thinks. It's been a long time since I've been able to play this. It feels good to see it getting some table time. Thanks for all of the help everyone.

I have been out of the arena for awhile now.  The friend I used to play with is too addicted to Magic!  I have been holding off on jumping back into Arena.  My plan was to wait for Academy to have more content, and then switch gears over to the quicker play format.  However, I watched some videos on Domination last weekend and decided to pull the trigger on it.  I still love Arena and the tactical movement, plus there is so much more content available for it.

I have been able to muster up a few friends who might be interested in giving the game a spin.  A couple of them are coming over this weekend to play Apprentice Mode.  I have the 4 official apprentice spellbooks created.  Is there any recommendations on how to teach them the game or anything specifically I should do to make this demo as rewarding as possible?  Also, when is a good time to introduce Domination?  If everyone is using apprentice books, will those work well enough to get a feel for Domination before diving in to create Domination specific spellbooks?

Thanks everyone!
