ON OUR TABLES:
Wurfel Bingo/High Score/Dice Bingo (led by K-ban) 2007 roll & write where 2 d6 are rolled 25x with their sum announced then entered on a 5×5 grid to form poker-style hands. High score wins. We played 3 rounds and added up our totals.
Roll to the Top 2x (led by Sean) new Edition of Corne’ van Moorsel’s 2018 roll & write of building landmarks before your opponents do likewise. Each game round some of the 4, 6, 8, 12 and 20 sided dice get rolled for all players. Write the rolled numbers from the bottom to the top at your sheet, with each new number higher than or equal to each number underneath.

Your squares can contain: – a number from 1 die, or the sum of 2 or more dice
You can also skip 1 or more dice.

Before each next round, the special die tells the next player (clockwise) to add, remove or swap a die before rolling.

Saint Malo

(led by K-ban & Drew) 2012 light, dice-rolling strategy game in which the players draw their own city buildings, walls, and people on wipe-off board. It’s a roll & write that plays more like a board game

Railroad Ink

(led by Tim) 2018 puzzle game where the goal is to connect as many exits on your board as possible. Each round, a set of dice are rolled determining which kind of road and railway routes are available to all players. Routes are drawn on erasable boards to create transport lines and connect to exits. Players are trying to optimize the available symbols better than opponents.

The more exits connected, the more points scored at the end of the game, but  points are deducted for each incomplete route encouraging careful planning.

Super Mega Lucky Box

(led by Armando) 2021 flip & write sweepstakes game with cascading actions.

Retrograde

(led by Sean) 2023 game of simultaneous speed rolling of 6 dice. cards. Each round, players roll their dice as fast as they can. Race to roll combos shown on the target cards, claim the best card, and spend your dice to put the ‘Droids on your sheet out of commission. Be fast, or an opponent might beat you to the card you want. If you’re the last player without a card, you can only reroll 2 more times before you’re stuck with what you rolled.

Depending on the card you choose, you’ll collect Coins and power-ups. Blast entire columns of ‘Droids to destroy bosses for bonus points. Blast rows of ‘Droids to unlock the power-ups you collect.
