| − | "It would be a stretch to call this game "educational", but I do appreciate any game that makes the kids think. At
| |
| − | first, I didn't think my 9yo was really "getting it", as he was struggling with the first scenario in the campaign even
| |
| − | on "easy" play level. But after giving him some tips, now he has made quite a bit of progress through the campaign, and
| |
| − | I am encouraged to see that he is continuing to learn what to pay attention to as he plays."

| − | "Also of particular benefit to our family is the multiplayer mode -- my 12yo lives in with her mom about an hour's drive
| |
| − | away, and their cousins live too far away to visit, so we've been trying to get together to play whenever we can. We
| |
| − | still have some issues here to work out (mostly with Windows, and likely OS-related, not problems with the game itself,
| |
| − | as I know my brother in the US has an oldish version) but the developers have been quite responsive on the irc channel
| |
| − | #wesnoth at irc.freenode.net whenever we have encountered problems."

| |

| |
| − | "Kudos to the whole Wesnoth community for helping make this game a tremendous success, especially the Debian guys I work
| |
| − | with who have polished up the package, helped provide and maintain a woody backport, and have kept up with upstream
| |
| − | releases, often releasing on the same day the release is announced."

| |
| − | this. Hoorah - it's a decent turn-based tactical-strategy game. Still not the Lords Of Chaos or Laser Squad game I'm
| |
| − | *really* looking for, but it's excellent all the same."
