There is no question that the roll and write genre is on fire right now. I’ve lost track of how many roll and writes have passed through BGQ reviewer’s hands this year, but it’s easily the most of any year. Yet if the game is clever, fun, and gives us something new, there is always […]

Over recent weeks the boys and I have been playing a lot more Hero quest recently, and we decided to do something a little bit different which will hopefully give our dungeon crawling a little bit more of the 3D dimension. So as always the project need...
