It's funny -- I read stuff on reddit that was mostly slamming it all day, and when I finally got to play it for an hour with the kids, they were jumping up and down and excited by every little thing that seemed different. We (mostly they) decided to play as Ibn Battuta, leading Rome, and to go for a cultural victory -- they didn't even read anything to be sure a cultural victory still exists. It took them a while to figure out how to build a settler, but after a while they were talking about where to put their second city, so I guess they figured it out. In about 30 turns, they had met 3 other civs, and an "independent village" who they said was hostile to them. It seemed a little more RP focused the way things happen to you rather than you playing the game, which I think got them more immersed.
