How Monsters & Minions Improves Roll Player - Beyond The Base Game

[@Paul-ro6py]

thanks for taking the time to produce this. Look forward to playing this.

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

Any time!

I waited for ages to get this expansion because of its price. But now that I have it.... its essential for me! Brings Roll Player from very good to great. Love it. Thanks for the review Luke.

Is this game worth the cost though? It is quite pricey

[@npckse8508]

Definitely think this expansion takes Roll Player from a dice placement game, into a unique and engaging dice placement game. Before the expansion, it was almost like "neat, a different themed-version of Sagrada". Obviously with either or both expansions, it becomes a full fledged game that requires concentration and the ability to juggle everything from the minions, monsters, individual stats, plus trying to get loot and/or traits to maximize your end game points.

Absolutely love the base game. Everything from theme, to the light number crunching, strategy and the many many dice! Having played enough to be really familiar I think it is time to get involved with this expansion. Thanks for the depth of explanation and the great enthusiasm!

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

Thank you, appreciate it!

[@connwom1]

I love this game. Thank you for your thoughts

Excellent breakdown of the value of this expansion. I'll shamefully admit I have only played the base Roll Player, which we enjoyed, but haven't brought the M&M expansion (that sits on my shelf) to the table yet. This synopsis reminds me that I really need to try it. Cheers!

[@24Nasorangmal]

Good one! I'm getting both expansions and really look forward to it!

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

Have fun!

[@joseg.6187]

Thanks. Looking forward to fiend and familiars expansion chat

[@ThunderworksGames]

Thanks for the amazing review Luke!

Better late then never to the party, thanks!! 😁👍

I have everything for this game, and everyone really loves this expansion. I was so excited when i got it. And got a bit disappointed after 5 plays with it. Its fun to have the options of attacking minions to get info on the montster. But Truth be told the best option is still going to the market. And if you don't like any card on the market. It is still better to get more money for future cards. You still have to roll dice for those minions, so if you did not succeed your turn goes to waste. The most i like about it is the boost dice. It added amazing theme but it just doesn't work as a main objective. But that is my experience, heck the last time we played we added a house rule that you get a VP for every minion you defeated to give it more value and the outcome was still the same.

I am waaaaay late to the party on this game. My wife and I are tired of Sagrada. We also finished Clank legacy and she loved the fantasy theme. I think Roll Player will be a great pick up for us today. Ordered the M&M exp today as well. Always love your enthusiasm in your videos. Plus, I get the vibe you are still a true gamer who still finds the time to play his favourite games. What I mean is some of the big content creators only have time to play a game a couple of times and have to keep moving on.

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

Thanks for sharing! Finds the time is relative, I probably could do with some of that time back! :P

[@Lost13]

You've sold me on this one

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

Glad it helped! Certainly I recommend this to all Roll Player fans!

[@geertvanderslacht7223]

Great video's. I was wondering which expansion to buy first. I go for this one.

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

Glad I could help!

[@wsiegel9539]

I wanted to get them all together and have been looking for a good deal. Same with the Valley of the Kings behind you.... You just can't get one. The set makes the game so much better.

[@RocketMagnetUK]

I really enjoy RP it's a fantastic game and I agree it kind of overshadows Sagrada.. especially mechanically solo IMO. I was wondering why I enjoyed it so much mechanically when generally I dislike scoring systems and it's because there is a goal score to achieve not just trying to beat my best which it very different imo... So each time I play the base game I'm trying to hit the max score of 40 to "win" so I do have a relatively difficult ultimate win state to aim for solo. I've got M&M but not had chance to play but genuinely looking forward to it now!. Also bought F&F big box along with the KS for RP Adventures so I'm basically all in just on the strength of the base game so nice to hear it expands and doesn't break the formula. The spin off Cartographers doesn't appeal to me though. BTW Base is 6 Characters : Elf, Human, Halfling, Orc, Dwarf, Dragonkin. M&M is another 5 : Wrathborn, Construct, Dark Elf, Gnome, Bastja Minotaur and Frogkin can be bought stand alone. Yet ultimately in the base game character races boil down to different +/- Attribute values.

[@Table.Fables]

This series is great! Cheers Luke! How about covering Sentinels of the Multiverse main expansions?

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

The only problem with them is they don't add new mechanics, they are basically more of the same, more variety.

[@carlosd.7208]

Awesome vid im sold!, the only bad thing is my wallet suffered from ordering both the base game and this expansion.

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

Understandable! :P

[@homosapsap]

Would you recommend this expansion for primarily 2p and solo? The feeling I get is that the colored dice are hard to get with just the base game, adding more dice would make that harder at shorter player counts.. worth the trade off or am I overthinking it?

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

I don't play it often two player to be honest, but I hadn't noticed much adverse effects.

[@Oaklestat]

Woohoo!! I would give 50 likes if I could.

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

Ha ha thanks! Maybe 50 likes can translate to 1 share! :D

[@shazam2323]

such a good game but i just hate the fact it's dice placement and no actual meaningful dice rolling or skill checks. Base roll player should have been making your character then the expansions being story based adventures using that character
