We are thrilled to share that Ed Kabara, Official Reviewer for RPGnet and RPGgeek, has published an amazing review of Adventuring Family, awarding it an impressive ninety seven percent. His full reviews are now live on both RPGgeek and on his personal website Throat Punch Games.

Ed describes Adventuring Family as “a solid experience to help people communicate” and highlights how the game creates a warm and safe space for children and adults to explore emotions and build stronger relationships through storytelling.

Why Ed Loved Adventuring Family

In his review Ed praises three major qualities.

Simple and welcoming game rules
The easy to learn system allows children, parents, and even grandparents to jump in and start playing within minutes. Ed notes that its design is perfect for first time players and especially suited for kids who need gentle structure and clear choices.

Emotional learning through play
Ed emphasizes that Adventuring Family shines in its ability to open doors to important conversations. The game uses friendly fantasy storytelling to help kids talk about feelings, kindness, choices, and even more challenging topics like confidence, anxiety, or frustration.

He calls this one of the strongest parts of the book and praises its supportive sections for adults who want to guide children safely and kindly.

A connection building experience
Ed beautifully compares Adventuring Family to sharing a drink with friends at the end of the day. It creates shared experiences, encourages laughter, and brings families closer together. He highlights that the goal is not complexity but connection, and the game succeeds fully in this purpose.

Perfect Gift For Christmas

With winter holidays approaching Adventuring Family makes a wonderful Christmas gift for parents, caregivers, teachers, or therapists who want a meaningful activity to share with children. It offers families an imaginative and nurturing way to spend time together during the holiday season and creates memories that stay long after the decorations are put away.
