About 3 years ago (7/11/19) I posted about my new favorite mechanism in games – roll & writes. It was pretty new to me at the time, and I was fairly enamored by pretty much every game in that category that I played. The genre has expanded a ton since then – I feel like half the games I see also have a roll and write version! It’s definitely still one of my favorite game styles, but my tastes have also changed a bit since my original list. So, let’s revisit and see where we stand now! This list includes roll & write games, flip & write games, and general “do” and write games (i.e. you may roll and flip).
Hey Gamers, Happy July! Another month, another list of new games. Although, this is probably the shortest list I’ve ever posted. It was a really busy month, and I didn’t get to play much in general, let alone new things. But, I still got a chance to try a few new things, let’s check it out!
❤️ – Loved It/Always Love It/Favorite (I rate it a 9 – 10)
😄 – Liked It/Will Likely Play Again (I rate it a 7 – 8)
🤷🏻♀️ – Okay/Take It or Leave It/Could Play Again (I rate it a 4 – 6)
👎🏻 – Didn’t Like/Would Not Play Again (I rate it a 1 – 3)
🤷🏻♀️/😄 The Ancient World – I definitely need to play this one again
🤷🏻♀️ Best Candy on the Block: Rewrapped – Review coming in Fall! I like this one, but need a few more plays before I give it a final rating
😄 Escape Room: The Game – Behind Enemy Lines – A good VR escape room scenario with some nice puzzles
🤷🏻♀️ Brass Birmingham – The game is fine, but the hype for it is insane to me.
🤷🏻♀️ Weavlings in the Wild – Preview coming soon! Still need to play the expansions to decide how I feel about it overall
Alderac Entertainment Group (AEG) has so many games, that sometimes even I forget everything that’s by them! I have found a lot of great games thanks to them, and so I wanted to put my favorites all together in one list and share them with the world! They have a bunch of variety, so there’s something for everyone. Even if you don’t find it on this list, there might be something of theirs for you too! (Note – I know not everything is still published by them, but my list looks at any games they’ve ever published). Let’s get started!
Whether you choose to romance, befriend, or slay the monsters you meet on your endeavors, you’ll have to do it in style! The more fashion you wear, the easier it’ll be to encounter more monsters, which you’ll need to do if you want to best your opponents. Ready to start your adventure? Let’s go!
Acclaimed cartoonist Stephen Kelly disappeared some time ago … so long that it’s become a cold case. But can we really let a kidnapping just go unsolved like this? No! Of course not! If we can work our way through the 28 comics left behind, we may just be able to figure out what happened to him after all. Let’s get cracking!
