Copenhagen: Roll & Write
Copenhagen: Roll & Write review
Copenhagen: Roll & Write is a fun, quick, and easy-to-learn game that's perfect for a casual game night. It's similar to the original Copenhagen board game but with a simpler roll-and-write mechanism that utilizes polyomino shapes and colored dice.
The game is surprisingly strategic, even though it's quite simple to pick up. You have to carefully consider which colors to use on your turn, as each choice affects not only your own building but also the options available to other players. I found myself constantly thinking ahead, trying to predict what colors my opponents would want and strategically blocking them or grabbing the colors I needed.
I also love the special powers that you can unlock as you build your facade. These powers add another layer of strategy and can really help you to pull ahead of the competition. The game's art and design are also quite charming, with the bright colors and simple shapes being quite appealing.
If you're looking for a light and fun game to play with friends or family, I highly recommend Copenhagen: Roll & Write. It's a great choice for a quick game or as a filler between longer games. You'll find yourself coming back to it again and again!
