The Essentials Kit is better than the Starter Set, I’d say:

> **[Essentials Kit | Dungeons & Dragons](https://dnd.wizards.com/products/essentials-kit)**
>
> The D&D Essentials Kit provides everything you need to create characters and play the new adventures in this introduction to the world’s greatest roleplaying game.

I’ve run that with my family, it’s quite good for an intro set.

I’m of the same opinion as all those who’d guesstimate 20% of D&D games sold were never played.
