Product Information

The game also features different characters with different abilities, strengths and weaknesses, which makes the game highly replayable and with a lot of variety in gameplay. Each round of Yahtzee begins with the roll of all five dice. The player can then choose to keep any of the dice that they wish, and re-roll the rest. This process can be repeated up to two more times, allowing the player to try to achieve the desired combination. The player must then fill in one of the boxes on the scorecard with the score for that round. You roll them – just like the game says. Take your workers, shake them in your hand and toss them into the box. Each worker will end up in one of three main orientations: laying flat, standing on their edge, and standing on their feet. Flat meeples are tired and provide no benefit, and in case if too many of your workers are laying flat it means your work force has gone on strike because you’re overworking them (more on that later). As you might guess, edge and upright meeples provide different benefits based on their type. An edge “resource” worker will give you 1 resource of that type, while an upright worker will give you 2.

Now might be a good time to examine a building tile up close. Each building tile has a unique name, a “type” (residential, civic, parks, etc.), and a diagram indicating what materials (and how many) must be used to complete construction. Building tiles additionally give you points, either a fixed number or based on some condition. Finally, completed tiles will allow you to grow your workforce by the number of meeples indicated at the bottom of the tile. Photo credit: Ross Connell Higher & Higher

I’ve mentioned before how much I enjoy games from AEG. Point Salad, Whirling Witchcraft, Cascadia, Automobiles; their games speak to me as a gamer. Not too heavy, not too light…well designed, great components, well thought out gameplay, and most of all fun. Rolling Heights definitely has a lot of those things going for it, but also has some flaws which I’ll dig into here. Too Many Bones is produced by Chip Theory Games, which means insane production quality... and an expensive price tag. It comes with dice storage trays, neoprene playmats, plastic cards, chunky health chips and encounter chips, and it all feels extremely premium.

Features:

The game comes with over 100 unique custom skill dice, which are used across four different characters (called Gearlocs) to deliver one of the deepest dungeon-crawling experiences in modern board gaming.

Here are some of the top board games with dice that are sure to bring hours of enjoyment.

Your Horror level affects how many dice you can roll, which influences your overall success rate with action cards. As the game progress, your Horror increases—and the Killer's Bloodlust increases—ramping up the tension right up to the very end. Rolling Heights has some great things going for it, with a blend of gameplay that I haven’t seen before. Some of our favorite parts of the game were rolling those meeples. They’re made of a high impact plastic like the pieces in Reef, and are definitely candidates for being irresistibly touchable. If you’ve ever played the game Pass the Pigs, you’ll know how to roll these meeples. Sadly Rolling Heights doesn’t differentiate between a meeple on its head vs one on its side, because that would be awesome. The way each color of meeple benefits the player seems to work really well together. Green meeples allow you upgrade any one meeple from laying to working hard which can have a dramatic impact. Purple meeples have the chance to double the resources you collect for meeples of a specific color, while gold meeples just give you straight up points.

One of the biggest issues that plagued our gameplay was clarity around scoring conditions, and game length. Because you’ve got 3 certain scoring options and 2 potential options (your hidden goals), there’s a lot to think about. There are many points revolving around where you place your tiles. This causes two problems. Without a clearer understanding of the scoring our turns took longer since we were forced to debate the meanings. Additional time was taken because players had to examine all of the tiles on offer to determine which was the best one for them at the time. Thankfully players can perform the initial meeple rolling and selection while waiting for the players before them. But play can’t continue until the player before you has placed their tile, etc.King of Tokyo is a popular board game that combines elements of dice rolling, strategy, and monster battles. The game is played with custom dice, a game board, player boards, and various cards and tokens. The objective of the game is to be the first player to reach 20 victory points or the last one standing in Tokyo. There are several different scoring combinations in Farkle, each with a different point value. For example, rolling three of a kind will earn the player a certain number of points, while rolling a straight will earn the player a higher number of points. In the game, players take turns rolling their dice under a cup, hiding the results from the other players. They then make a bid on the total number of a specific die face showing on all dice in play. The next player must either make a higher bid on the same die face or bid on a different die face. If a player challenges and loses, they lose a die, if they win, the challenger loses a die.
