Delicious Games offers up its hit game Woodcraft as a free Roll and Write

It’s not often that a Roll and Write version of a game is released at the same time as the board game itself but that’s exactly what happened with Woodcraft: Roll and Write, designed by Ross Arnold and Vladimir Suchy, published by Delicious Games.

In Woodcraft: Roll and Write, players are owners of a woodworking shop. At the beginning of each round, 3 Yellow and 3 Brown dice will be rolled. Both dice represent available wood with the Yellow dice being of lesser quality than the brown. Players will then choose a die in order to gain resources, then complete as many free actions as they want, in any order they want. This includes: using resources to manipulate the die values, hiring helpers to get additional abilities, and completing orders.

Each player gets two turns per round and after the sixth round the game is over. Players score any victory points gained during play, points for their helpers, reputation gained from completing orders, marked off crates, and lanterns gained. The player with the most points is the winner.

Woodcraft: Roll and Write supports 1-5 players, ages 12+, with an estimated playtime of 30-40 minutes. Oh and did I mention that you can download this game for free from the Delicious Games website?
