I bought the game several years ago but never played it. About to crack it open and play it with my wife. From the looks of other gameplay it looks pretty easy. My wife is relatively new to games so would this be fun for her too or should I just play by myself?
It’s always more fun with others so I’d say play with your wife. While the game isn’t super hard, it also doesn’t explain things that well.

Also remember: there is multiple ways to play this game. You can keep it just as an adventure game where your endgame is to fight the dragon. Or you can just start building stuff to your liking. Or both.
