My family and I almost did not get this game because we have D&D, The Legend of Drizzt. But we did get it. Both games are dungeon crawlers, but with SDE one player controls the monsters, so both games feel very different. D&D monsters can be a little more difficult and random, it is a very unforgiving game. SDE monsters are lighter and easier, but since a human controls the monsters it is just as difficult, although in a different way. SDE is a great game that the family enjoys (our children are 6 and up enjoy playing!)
