Roll &
Colour is a Christmas design where you colour in the front of the card. The
design is pretty, though obviously more interesting once coloured in. Again,
there’s a mindful element to this game as you roll dice to pick a column, row
and colour. Slightly counter intuitively the aim is to have different coloured
stars in each square. I had a disagreement with my partner as to which would be
more attractive, all different colours or the same colours in blocks. Certainly,
having the same colours in blocks or in a pattern could give a more satisfying
and cohesive game play experience and final image. This card did have a scoring
mechanism, and I achieved a perfect score, however, because there are only 3
bands of scoring, if you make just 2 mistakes it pushes you into the worst scoring
band. As you can only play once this feels a little precarious, though the aim
is to end up with a pretty card, so it doesn’t matter a tremendous amount.
Overall, I’d
say that if you like quiet, mindful, process, solo games, then these are very
sweet and an interesting idea. You can order them on Kickstarter from 29th October, so keep an eye out! Dissent Games is a female run UK company and well
worth supporting so look out for her upcoming game Library Labyrinth.
