Although I am considering getting a sweet dice tattoo … but I digress.

Hey Gamers! So, if you know one thing about me, it’s that I love roll and write games – remember? So I was pretty excited to check out the 10-game roll and write anthology from Inkwell Games called Dice & Ink Volume 1.

In this preview, I’ll give you just a few first impressions on the four games I looked at. Please keep in mind that I have print-and-play/prototype versions, so not everything is final from the pictures to possibly even some of the rules. But without further ado, let’s check them out!

In this preview I take a look at a prototype of the card game, and highlight its beginnings. Please keep in mind that some things you see/read may change from my copy to the final version (in fact, I know a few things have already been worked on!) Without further ado, let’s take a look!
