My Top 20 Free Roll and Write Games of All Time [03/22]

[@RoccoPaco1]

I know this video is two years old, but I wanted to say thank you! Very informative and well done! Some wonderful options! Hope you continue to make more videos.

[@KoenigKreations]

Wow, Vault made the list?! I am so glad you liked it that much! Thank you for including it.

[@KyawThurein]

Thanks for sharing your list! :D .... I always enjoy watching your playthroughs and reviews ...

[@VeselkoKelava]

Thanks so much! 🤗

[@SirThecos]

I agree - Utopia Engine is a great game. ✌️

[@martinprivat5908]

Did you play Rollway Station? It's kind of puzzly but breezy at the same time. I really like it. Also lately Rolling Village has kept my attention for quite a while.

[@VeselkoKelava]

Haven't played Rollway Station yet. I'll print it tomorrow and see what it's all about. Also, I love Rolling Village. I used to play it at work, 40 hours a week 😁

[@Auricom45]

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for this. I recently got into roll and writes and to find that there are SO MANY free ones, with gameplay equivalent to others that need to be purchased, has been both overwhelming and exhilarating. Please keep doing these!

[@49684]

Been on the hunt for a new hobby, Thank you. 😊💪👊

[@siksith]

After seeing so many glowing reviews of utopia engine, I think I'll give it a try now, despite the time commitment.

[@VeselkoKelava]

Definitely give it at least a shot. Hope you enjoy it 😁

[@maj61601]

Great list, thank you for sharing!!

[@globerider_]

thank you very much for your review! I will definitely try these games

[@annajensen3190]

Fantastic thank you very much :) Can you recommend 4 more? Then I can make it into a Christmas Calendar :)

[@showmesolo304]

Really great list. Played many of these, others I will definitely check out. I've had Utopia Engine in my folder forever. It just seems more intimidating than it is. And I really need to get BBB back out. That is such an enjoyable game.

[@VeselkoKelava]

Yeah, Utopia Engine is a bit hard to get into, and a lot of people get discouraged by their first few games, because you kinda have to know the game well to pull out a win. But once you manage to start the Utopia Engine for the first time, best feeling ever.

[@pesto12601]

Yup.. thx for sharing your list.. somehow, I missed the Everest game and just went to print it out and play. Some other games that are really nice to play: Dark Force Incursion, Decathlon, Handful of Hazards.

[@VeselkoKelava]

Much obliged. I've played Decathlon, but I'll check out the other. Thanks, pal

[@pesto12601]

@@VeselkoKelava Enjoy! Dark Force Incursion is pretty decent... its very lightweight but there is some strategy... and newer maps add more blocks, etc.

[@williamnickeas5788]

Great list.. was just wondering where Kolm Keltek, The Last Jatl and Fox and the Rabbit are lol?? Playthrough of your new game coming soon?? BTW I must get around to Egyptia and DOTLD one day. Not familiar with some of these. Personally I would add Lobster Roll and give Everest the boot from your list... but it is YOUR list. Have you played Polyhedral potions. Not sure it's free anymore to tell you the truth. Thanks again for the reviews Veselko even if I'm enjoying your game designing just as much these days 😀

[@VeselkoKelava]

Well those are obviously top 3 games, but I don't want people to think I'm biased 😉 I think I might have Polyhedral Potions downloaded, but haven't tried it yet. I'm just so busy, I haven't played any games for couple of weeks now. 😥 Maybe I'll take a break after that r&w contest and just catch up on my gaming.

[@spencerj9541]

Utopia engine is such a great game

[@alessandrorighi1282]

Hi, thanks for sharing, I'm New to this kind of games. Can they be played in 2 or are they for a solitary gameplay? Thanks

[@VeselkoKelava]

Hi, Alessandro. A lot of them can be played by 2 or more people, but I only play solo, so I don't pay attention to that. If you follow the links I left, click on overview page, or read the first page of the rulebook and it will say how many players it allows.

[@brianschutt6301]

What about d100 Dungeon?! Your list is great, and I agree with a lot of your choices, but please consider d100 Dungeon in your top 10. That game is EPIC!!! But with that being said, this is another great video!! Looking forward to trying some of the games I have not played.

[@VeselkoKelava]

Yeah, I love D100. I felt it might be a bit of a stretch to call it Roll and Write. Maybe that's just me 😊 Thanks so much!

[@williamnickeas5788]

enjoyed playing paleontologists tonight - great fun!

[@indiekid5323]

thanks for this vid, i was feeling confused on which roll and write games to try. what do you use to protect the individual games? is it like a sleeve?

[@VeselkoKelava]

Yes, I think it's called sheet protectors, they're meant to be used with a binder, so it's a nice way to store all your roll and write games.

[@IapetusRetroStuff]

Great video! thanks for all the info about the 20 games.

[@redsable1434]

Great list ty for posting. I have played roll and cook and utopian engine. Always enjoy your content

[@VeselkoKelava]

[@charlycharly4958]

Hi!!! Your list and all the games you try are great!!! Can you make a 30Rails gameplay with some expansions, to see they work?? Thanks and cheers from Argentina!!

[@yurimorroni]

Great list! I've been watching your other videos for a while now, since I began to design my own roll & write pnp games. Hopefully soon you'll be able to play some of them! Thanks!

[@VeselkoKelava]

Thanks a lot. Did you have a BGG account?

[@yurimorroni]

@@VeselkoKelava I do. I'm YuriMor there. At the moment I'm working on a submission for the 11th Roll & Write Game Design Contest. Soon I'll have it component ready!

[@VeselkoKelava]
