Ask the Bellhop: “What’s so bad about “Roll and Move” games? Just because this mechanism was employed very poorly in the past doesn’t mean it’s bad. I believe it’s getting a bad rap because of the lack of player decisions, and lack of ways to mitigate poor dice rolls. Are there any roll and move games that you know of which use this mechanism effectively?”
