Oh, I remember this! I liked writing this one. It’s all about dice-based games, particularly those can be described as ‘roll and move’ games.
The classic, if reductive, image is of snakes and ladders, with games like Talisman and the 40K variant, Relic, feeling like advanced versions thereof.
These games can be fun, but they are firmly based on, and potentially hobbled by, the level at which pure chance can make or break the game for you.
I dunno… I’ve got mixed feelings. Relic is still a game I’ll break out from time to time.
