Roll Player - The Board Game

Played the board game a lot and it definitely keeps the feel of it. Easy to understand (especially if you have played it before). Great adaptation.

love this game it plays exactly like the board game cant wait till they add in the expansions

Muito legal.

Quick, fun game. Although you don't need to have created dozens of D&D characters to enjoy this, it definitely makes the game more fun and allows you to appreciate the flavor text. The only downside is the # of players (love for this to be a party game with 6+ players).

Currently at $15, which just seems a little high for what this is. I'm gonna give it a narrow yes because there is a ton of quality here and I think most will have fun with it, but it's just not for me. Gorgeous game, no bugs, perfect art, sound, UI, all that stuff. Dice solitaire that gives you a lot of control over dice manipulation, maybe too much so as the game was ultimately a bit too easy to keep my interest. Multiplayer seems sort of pointless. I played the simulated multiplayer in the singleplayer version, so assuming they play the same here. But you and the opponent don't seem to interact at all except for sharing a market card pool. That's just not enough to make it feel like it matters that I have an opponent at all, so I end up playing solo. You choose a class, race, alignment, and backstory when creating your character board. Out of those, only class makes any game feel different from the others. Race just has a +2 and a -2 to a stat. Alignment and backstory are simple permutations of some very basic game elements that feel sort of like rotating a tic-tac-toe board. The items, skills, traits, etc you can accrue are maybe the most interesting part. They have true variety, each having a distinct character and behavior. Design is tight and there's no wasted space here. It's just a shame that the race, alignment and backstory are kind of lackluster. If they had their own distinct rules that modify gameplay, I think it would contribute more to each run truly feeling different.

Excellent adaptation of the board game, which I have played. However, to really shine Roll Player needs at least one of the expansions. This is one of the few board games that I would never play without one of the two expansions. Without them, the game feels incomplete. I hope the developers are able to release at least one of them.

It took me a little while to pick up on how to play. The tutorial was not as helpful as it could have been. Once I got the hang of it, it's a lot of fun. Too bad to play with friends, you each need to have a copy. Worth getting in a bundle or on sale. Graphics are decent for what it is. Music is pleasant. No lore or story. Entertaining in it's own right. Nice work.
