How do you save your game when you're not done with a level? Are there check points or something? My 8 year old is having a terrible time.

There are save statues in every level. It's a statue of a dwarf holding a paper where you can save your progress.

There are checkpoints. We always save at a checkpoint; however, I am not sure they really save the level. The checkpoints are statues with a white circle in front of them. Have your child save there and then see if it does save the level. And be sure to quit and save when you end the game. Hope this helps.

The system saves automatically after you pass a level. You can't save in the middle of a level.

There are section of levels, each section has a concrete looking statue, when you walk up to the statue you press the circle button, you can save and continue or exit, the game also auto saves. Sometimes the statues aren't obvious but they are there, just don't bust it up until you use it. Good luck�

If you down loaded the game then there shouldn't be a problem. If nothing else, buy an external disk drive. I think I paid $40 for one at Best Buy.

You can play offline it just won't be connected to Steam, and a msg will pop up that says Steam won't be able to sync your game files from the cloud. That's the best answer I have from our little experiment we just did by turning off our internet and seeing if our son could still play and he could....Hope it helps!

I've played 7 Wonders with 7 & 8yo's. It's a little rough for that age group. Remember, this is an expansion to the main 7 Wonders game, so if they can play the main game, adding this shouldn't be a problem. The best thing about the game is even adults have a hard time figuring out if they're winning until the end, so even playing with younger players can be fun.

It turns itself off after a couple of minutes. There's no user book for the game but if you have questions, I'll try to help. I absolutely love this game. It's what I play just before bedtime to wind down for the evening.

I lost my data, too. Even accepting the loss and reformatting does not work. Microsoft updated shortly after GTAV and mine locked up rendering it useless. All your son really may have lost is high scores. All the achievements anthings that were downloaded are still going to be available. they just have to be reinstalled. you can look at at his account and click on 'my downloads' and redo them. It should be ok. I am sad that I cannot find a Microsoft version of this style, but bigger than 120GB.

Sorry to hear you're using Windows 8. Made the mistake of ordering a laptop with that OS and sent it back after a day of frustration with it. Can only suggest going to the website for the company that built this game to see if they can provide an answer. The age of the game would tend to be a detriment.

YES , you can play this game OFF LINE , these people don't know what they are talking about. The game has game save issues , but if you disconnect your console from the internet and play it like you would any other game your game saves will work because its not going through EA's servers then to cloud saving. All of your saves will go directly to the hard drive like they are supposed to. If you get busted by a cop or just wreck your car to much and are automatically sent back to the garage , make sure you exit the garage and come back in again because the game does not save when those two things happen. Always visit a garage before shuting down your console because that is the only way to save. Just play off line to avoid losing you save game data. Also don't listed to anyone that tells you there is no off line play because there is and the game functions the exact same way as it does online except you don't have live players running around it is just the game AI drivers which is all I need because the game is still tons of fun even without the online feature. Everything you can do online , you can do off line Except race live players.

You have to enter every control one at a time & hit the save button each time (vol +, save vol - save) and so on for every control. And every so often you'll have to do it again.

My son, to whom this game belongs, says he doesn't think you can get one on a used game. Bear in mind, though, he is 13 and may not know what he is talking about. We have a used game store in our town. If it were me, I'd call that store and see if they had any advice - do you have anything like that where you live?

I think you have to have at least two players. I know they will have NPCs to fill in for the rest.....the game is most certainly meant for kids...I play it with my kid sometimes just as a bonding thing....my kid just checked and she says you must have 2 players

It depends on how responsible your child is as well. One drop on the hardwood floor and our 5 year olds DS now has a half blank screen. I also didn't find many educational games that he could play without his older brothers helping. We are going for a Leapster 2 this Christmas. He's a sponge with educational games and loves to learn.

Bring a game disc that you can play without internet, but you must download the other online to play. I still have not downloaded.

Gail, I would let them manipulate the cubes for a awhile before launching into the game. If all else fails, just hold it until they are old enough. My 11 year old can almost beat me! FUN.

You have to actually remove the try me button (pull out). My son experienced same until he figured that out. Directions notcreal clear in that. Hope thus helps! Very fun game once you do this.

By playing! Its all about the story telling and creativity. There isn't scoring - although you could create, have folks vote of something. Game travels well and all ages can play. My 4 and 6yo both love it. Never actually scored, or had the kids ask about scoring or a winner.

My son is having trouble with that too. He finally got Polly to accept one. Now at least he knows it can be done. Make sure you turn the sound for the correct picture on. Can you save the game? We havent figured how to save it.
