I've made no secret in the past of how 1E is my deeper love of the two games. I still find the flavor of 2E lacking in respect to 1e in many respects.
but
I have an 11-year old that's been watching me go to local 2E tournemneets for a couple months and said he wanted to play.
So I sat down with him last night.
He's played a good amount of Magic, and Dominion before. I taught him LotR and tried SWCCG with him. (Since he's more of a fan of those movies then Star Trek so far.)
For 2E, I literally just handed him the deck, plopped the missions down, and was able to teach him the basics thru playing. (Draw 7 to start, there's the cost in the corner, play/draw 7, etc.)
I love the complex puzzle of the seed phase, and how the Borg are 3 pages of rules for them in 1E. I think and the back and forth of battle are hugely missing from 2E.
But I do, really, truly appreciate how easy it was to just pickup and play with him. And that's a very big plus.
