The Rat King wants to steal the Easter Eggs! (A family holiday game)

Dear Gentlemen,

To celebrate Easter last weekend we played a family game involving some great miniatures and chocolate eggs...


The Plot:

It's Easter and all the kids in the small village get up early in the morning to look for their chocolate eggs. What they do not know is that just after the Easter bunnies came the Rat King and his minions: a dozen of rats and two terrible barrow rats.

Thanks God! (after all He has resurected) they got up just to see the terrible evil creatures entering the town so they got up their father and started a competition to save as much eggs as they could.


Credits:

The players are my kids (aged 3,6 and 8 and "experienced" rpg players) and me. The rules used are Frostgrave (more or less) in a homemade easy variant for younger players. The treasure counters are now chocolate eggs. The evil creatures move following the sequence used in rangers of the Shadow deep.

At the end The rats got 5 eggs, my kids (4,3 and 3) and myself only 2.

The town comes from Citadel townscape and the miniatures are Reaper Bones (rats and Barrow rats), Reaper metal for the villagers (superb boxed set the village of Kullhaven) and Copplestone castings (The Rat King of limehouse). The tiny cat that appears in a miniature base comes from Eureka miniatures.
