Thank you for all the mentorship! I'm learning so much and appreciate all the research you've done and your clear presentation of the information in an approachable, friendly tone : )

Great overview of one of the biggest current trends in boardgames! I'm honored that you featured Hashi!

You're videos are great. Thank you for the detailed lists of ideas, the dedication and passion. It's great to reflect on game design. And congratulations for the Cardboard Edison prize. Saludos from a usually silent viewer from Spain.

Great overview of the genre. I wasn't familiar with Kuh Vadis. Seems like one I'd enjoy a couple of times. A few things you might not be aware of: Tempus Quest is a series of games that uses time as a randomiser. I used a book (of the players' choice) as a randomiser in Make A Wordsearch. In the Dice & Ink book, there were a couple of other games that involved sharing sheets. Flowers Over Towers is an area majority game. Celestial Stories used the original drawing as a seed to tell some stories!

This was vital for my research, thanks a lot! great job!

Fantastic video. Exactly what I was looking for and deeply knowledgeable. Many thanks!

Great video! Love going through all the mechanics and really appreciate you actually showing the games. Makes so much difference. ♥

Incredibly underrated video. Well made, great information.

Great video! Loved the way you broke down in sections!

Love your videos - quick rule thing - I *think* you've shown the "Locking a row" rule in Quixx incorrectly. Here's my interpretation of the rule - To lock a row, you must have 5 X's in the row as you said, but you also MUST roll and cross off the final number (a 12 or 2) to lock the row - so rows can't be locked on rolls of 11, only on 12's (or 2's). Feel free to correct me if I've been playing it wrong - I re-read the rules upon seeing your video, and that's still my interpretation.

At first, I never cared much for roll & writes. To me, the concept seemed silly, especially since I'm a "huge box with lots of stuff" kinda gal. Ark Nova, Dune: Imperium, and Everdell are my favorite games. Rajas Of The Ganges is also one of my favorite games, so when I heard that there's a roll & write version of it, I was interested to try it out. And it was fantastic. I loved it a lot, and it changed my view on roll & writes. And now, after watching your video, I appreciate the genre even more. So far, I have designed a trick-taking game and a set collection game, and I'm in the middle of making a worker placement game. Maybe after that, I might try my hand at a roll & write game. I love your channel, you are genuinely awesome!

Love your videos! Especially enjoyed this one. I find Roll & Write games really interesting. I particular like the low cost to produce and the low barrier to entry. Pretty much anyone can create one without the involvement of manufacturers, etc. I might see what I can come up with. Thanks for the great information.

Finally I'm here at this video. I like roll and writes, but I like the uncertainty of having monsters show up in cartographers and the spacial component more than the strategizing for welcome to. Hashi sounds interesting but I'd like to try it on something like BGA first before buying. I've gotten bitten too many times by games that sound fun and fall completely flat and then I need to unload at -80%.

I like Qwinto and Silver and Gold. In Qwinto you feel invested in other players turns because the active player has the option of a re-roll, so there's normally a few moments where everyone wants the player to stick...but they re-roll. I prefer Trails of Tucana over Avenue (same designers). Both feature route building, but I find Avenue to be rather punishing. T of T feels more relaxed, and it always provides some nice combo moments. Not tried Cartographers yet. Probably the simplest polyomino R&R is Second Chance by Uwe Rosenberg (get the Pegasus Spiele edition). It's so easy to teach and my friends refer to it as Tetris Bingo. I can also recommend Zooloretto The Dice Game. And I look forward to Super Mega Lucky Box by Phil Walker Harding ("bingo, with some choices") Congratulations on your recent award. Well deserved! I continue to spread the word about your excellent channel.

Paper Dungeons and Dragon Dungeon are great examples.

amazing and interesting video

Nice video. How about Railroad Ink, a really cool route building game! Definitely one of the best R&Ws imo 😃

I hope that you will have the opportunity to play Seven Bridges, if you haven't already! How many roll-and-write games have you played where the two principal mechanisms and drafting and route-building? Hint: There aren't many.

I think you'd really like Roll Write Daifugo and Madrino!

Heyo, great video! Apologies for posting links in the prior comment.

Rolling Realms is the first roll and write that both plays interestingly and looks somewhat attractive.
