In Equipping Young Kids (Part 1), I discussed a couple of ways to get kids involved in learning Redemption before they are able to read as well as a unique way to use half of a starter deck to get early readers started. I also discussed using the other half of the same starter deck to play against them to help with card familiarity. Whatever method you use, I cannot stress enough how important it is for the kids to get very familiar with their cards, and the game rules before making any changes to their decks. I have seen too many kids wanting to make changes to their decks immediately, only to add enhancements that they don’t have any characters to play them on. I firmly believe this will be less likely if you spend more time helping them to learn the basics in a way similar to the recommendations in Part 1.
