I think one of the things that makes Fleet: the Dice Game better than most roll-and-writes is that the dice prevent you from having favorite strategies that you execute every game. You can't always go down the shrimp track if you don't roll shrimp. Many roll-and-writes give you too much freedom to choose, so you can get into strategic ruts where you do the same thing every game. It makes sense you like this one, because the bag seems to accomplish the same thing. There are always choices, but they aren't the same choices every time. I've enjoyed Fleet, so I may have to try this!

Fleet the Dice Game is my Fav. Roll n Write... and I really enjoy Orleans' (the board game) but it is long and has a bit of a setup time --- if this gives a nice "Feel" of Orleans in a quicker play.... I'm gonna have to give it a go! Thanks for the concise overview and your sincere opinion! Looks like a winner to me! 🙂

Fleet: The Dice Game is probably my second favorite R&W :)

100% agree about multiplayer Joan of Arc Orleans - and most flip/roll and write games also don’t work for me.

I agree with this being a good multiplayer roll-and-write, probably the best one, idk. Most roll-and-writes really have the player focus on their own player sheets, but this one has a number of player interaction. I feel similarly to Dinosaur Island Rawr n Write - which has less interactions than this, but maybe because of the dice drafting. Most interactive roll-and-write for me though would be Long Shot: The Dice Game - okay, maybe not direct interaction. But at least you have the central board for everyone to interact with.

That's another good one. I almost forget it's a Roll and Write. :)

Interesting, maybe I'll reconsider getting this as some point. What turned me off initially when I looked at this game was that the bag building element from the original game was not carried over at all, making the bag and tokens just a gimmick. A small deck of cards would have worked too for this purpose. On another note, I also enjoy Fleet The Dice Game. And another recommendation is Rajas of the Ganges The Dice Charmers. That one offers interesting choices in the beginning and huge combos towards the end.

To be fair, the bag and tokens isn't really a gimmick. It's used for drafting (instead of bag building). I can see being let down that they didn't incorporate bag building in this, but the drafting is a huge part of the game dynamic.
