3. Lost Cities: Roll and Write

We love Lost Cities! If your gaming group are fans of Lost Cities or Lost Cities: Rivals check out the new Lost Cities: Roll & Write for 2-5 players.

In this new game you begin your expeditions on the 6 colored paths with the smallest possible numbers on the dice. Each turn, choose to continue with an expedition or begin a new one. Acceleration fields and artifacts offer ways to proceed quickly, however, consider which paths to take on which roll. If you make good headway, victory is calling — if an expedition becomes stuck, you will lose points as fast as you got them!

In this Roll and Write version, players have their own score sheet, showing 8 columns: 6 colored matching the colors of Lost Cities (red/orange/yellow/green/blue/purple), 1 artifact column, and 1 dice column. Players fill or mark all columns from the bottom up.

Bonus Tip – Like most Roll and Write games, Lost Cities: Roll & Write would make the perfect virtual game night game!

1. Sleeping Gods

Sleeping Gods has been a hugely popular preorder game. We are all anxiously anticipating this release date!

This thematic 1-4 player game by Ryan Laukat incorporates some hand management, luck and some storytelling. Each new location offers a wild adventure, hidden treasures, and stunning characters. Your selections affect the characters and the plot of the game, and could assist or hinder your chances of getting home!

Players become Captain Sofi Odessa and her crew, lost in a bizarre world set in 1929 on your steamship, the Manticore. Like all cooperative games you must work together to survive, discover exotic islands, meet new characters, and try to find the totems of the gods so that you can return home.

Sleeping Gods is a campaign game. Each session lasts as long as you choose. Take a break when you want simply by marking your progress on the journey log sheet. Your objective is to discover at least 14 totems concealed throughout the world. Like reading a book, you'll accomplish this journey 1 or 2 hours at a time, finding new lands, stories, and challenges along the way.

Your book operates as your board and an atlas, each page of the atlas represents a small fraction of the world you may explore. When you arrive at the edge of a page and you wish to continue in the same direction, you turn to a new page and sail onward.
