Rock 'n Roll (2010)

About this game

Tie the bandana, put on the sunglasses, shrug on the leather jacket, grab your "axe".........and the dice. Rock 'n Roll is a free print and play dice game in which players compete to become the biggest rock band and make the greatest albums. Playable solo or multiplayer, players roll dice over an in-game four year period to practice as a band, go out partying to get fans, get famous in the news, hit the studio to release the next big album, tour the country or just earn some cold, hard cash. Taking on concepts of Yahtzee and push your luck games, Rock 'n Roll gives hard decisions, direct competition and a rockin' theme. Will you be the next big thing or yet another failed garage band?

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
