Hadrian's Wall

"Hadrian's Wall Roll and Writes have evolved! Usually a quick playing affair where you roll dice, or draw cards and fill in boxes on a sheet to score the most points. Sometimes these are themed like Railroad Ink or sometimes they are just a bit Kathy like Ganz Schon Clever. Hadrian's Wall comes from Garphill Games, known for their West Kingdom and North Sea Trilogies. And while it's their first Roll (Flip) and Write it maintains their signature gameplay and depth. The box is heavy - because it contains not one but two pads. Each player will take a sheet from each pad and line them up together in front of them. This represents your Roman outpost with a broadly military sheet and a broadly civilian sheet. Each round you will receive a mix of different coloured meeples and resources. You will spend these to cross off parts of your sheets. You will definitely need to upgrade your wall and defences as at the end of each round all players will be attacked and potentially lose points at the end of the game. But ignoring the civilian aspects of your sheets will see you missing out on valuable bonuses and scoring opportunities. The meeples and resources you receive are dependent on a central card draw and also one of your own cards. Each player has an identical set of 12 cards which are shuffled, each round every player draws two and chooses one to gain meeples and resources from and one to tuck in the top of their board to score at the end of the game. It is worth trying to score as many of these six cards you will tuck over the course of the game! Despite being in depth and having a lot going on Hadrian's Wall plays smoothly and is combotastic! You will soon be chaining together actions like some of the smaller roll and writes, while feeling like you have played a meaty game. Player count: 1-6 Time: 30-60 minutes Age rating: 12+"
