What is the game about?

The land lies open and fallow. Stone, wood, food, and coins await use, and you lead a growing empire that is raising its first walls, farms, and bridges. Each turn, the dice roll reveals new possibilities, but also limitations: what resources you rolled determines what you can build. Buildings you construct provide bonuses that yield more each subsequent turn — the empire starts small but ends as a well-oiled machine that almost runs itself.

How do you play the game?

The game lasts ten rounds; each round, the active player rolls four dice - three with resources and one with workers - after which all players, in turn order, take a favor token for a one-time bonus. With your available actions, you build on your empire board (walls, huts, granaries, bridges) and on your village board (buildings with permanent bonuses). The buildings on your village board are the engine: the more you build, the more resources and actions you unlock each round. The solo mode offers 48 different adventure sheets with their own starting buildings and challenges. Whoever scores the most points after ten rounds wins.

This is the ideal game for...

You can play this game with 1 to 4 players, from 10 years old. The duration is approximately 30 minutes. The language of the game is Dutch.

How is the game experienced?

Imperial Settlers: Roll & Write is one of the more in-depth roll-and-writes on the market: the engine-building feel of the original Imperial Settlers has translated surprisingly well to paper and pencil. The advanced mode with blueprints is essential for the game to truly flourish; without those rules, it remains a bit too bare. Reviewers are unanimously enthusiastic about the solo mode with its 48 varied adventure sheets, which provide long-term replayability. The competitive game works well, but lacks the direct interaction of the card game it is based on. A strong choice for those who want more than just coloring in numbers.
