Rolling Realms Board Game Review

[@MisterAbysmul]

We really enjoy this one and have introduced it to everyone we game with, and it's been a hit. It is not my favorite (we have a LOT of roll and writes), but for it's length and variety it hits a nice spot.

Hey! I just noticed that you've hit 8000 subs! Congrats -- that's awesome!

Blimey. Cheers 👍🏻

Thanks for posting. I like games where I am doing something that represents a real world activity, has me interacting with other players (doesn’t have to be outright aggression, but...), and has components that are a pleasure to play with. Rolling Realms might get a pass on the last of those but that’s not enough. A bingo game filling in cards based on the designer/publishers board games, but not really? There’s a thin line between quirky and stupid and this is on the wrong side. For me, anyway.

Great video

I think you mentioned everything that went through my mind when I saw this game launched. I'm glad I stuck with instincts and ignored it. Stonemaier normally puts out quality, but this just seemed lazy to me. Another great video.

I love a roll/flip and write, but this one I’ll pass on. Any chance of a top ten in this genre at any point? There are some great ones about but a lot of them are admittedly multiplayer solitaire affairs, so maybe not your cup of tea.

Tbh I’ve not played that many. Not a big fan of them but if I ever get to have played more than 10 I’ll do it 👍🏻

[@kidmarine3994]

Fair enough, I won’t hold my breath 😁

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Definitely don’t do that

[@MichaelZipkin]

I continue to be unimpressed by roll and write games. With a rare few exceptions this genre seems to continue selling because of the minimal production cost to maximum profit margin that publishers can afford to take a chance on, but outside of a handful of quality games, this genre is just mostly rubbish.

I like Yahtzee (or Yacht as it’s sometimes called) I simply struggle to break out of that padded cell…
