Roll Through the Ages

Heather here!

So...

I have decided to write about Roll Through the Ages!

Thank you Tippy for being my model.

So basically I like this game because you can play by yourself or up to 4 people. But also because I like the fact that you can talk during this game and not really slow the game playing process down. Sometimes I HATE waiting for people to think about their strategy, even though I'm guilty of doing that also :)

Everyone gets a board, 6 pegs, and 1 sheet of paper. You start off with 3 cities which allows you to roll 3 dice. For every city you have, you get to roll that many dice. Thus there are 7 dice and 7 cities. Looking at the picture above, you notice that the dice give you a variety of options. 

Starting from the left: gain people to build cities or monuments, gain goods to be able to buy developments, add $ to buy developments, gain food to feed your cities, gain goods yet get disasters, and gain either food or people.

The point of the game is to collect the most victory points, which are attained through purchases and building. 

This is a great game to introduce new people into games. It's an easier one to teach and learn but also helps learn mechanics of many other games.

Happy Gaming!
