Roll Player, board/card game reviewed by Tom Vasel. Seal of Excellence. He liked it because it is a thinky, puzzley game with lots of interesting choices. After playing it solitaire a half dozen times, I am less positive than he is. It is fiddle, gamey, and lucky. The pasted on backstory mechanic does not work for me. The very different rules for armor vs. weapons also do not work for me. The alignment limitations on using skills are egregious., especially in light of the very different rules on skills vs. traits. Going to need a lot of tweaking with house rules for me to continue to play this.

Gute Freunde board game
Gute Freunde AKA Good Friends
This is an extremely simple game.
I think it is intended to be a child's first game where they learn some basic game mechanics.
There are no decisions to be made, it is all luck.

Old Joe Clark
Old Joe Clark is one of my favorite folk songs.
I do not always follow the traditional lyrics.
Old Joe Clark he had a house
40 stories high
And every story in that house
Was filled with chicken pie.
Fare thee well Old Joe Clark
Fare thee well I say
Fare thee well Old Joe Clark
For I'm a going away.
Old Joe Clark he had a mule
His name was Morgan Brown
He hitched him up to his wagon
And drove him into town.
Fare thee well Old Joe Clark
Fare thee well I say
Fare thee well Old Joe Clark
For I'm a going away.
I went down to Old Joe's house
He invited me to supper
I stubbed my toe on the table leg
And stuck my nose in the butter.
Fare thee well Old Joe Clark
Fare thee well I say
Fare thee well Old Joe Clark
For I'm a going away.
