With as many bad board games as we play here at Rough Draft Games, we're pretty accustomed to slogging our way through the depths of despair, so to have a little bit of hope thrown in the mix is a nice change of pace! Today we're playing Hope's Peak Academy: Danganronpa Board Game! How will we ever pack all of the lore of Danganronpa into a 50-minute board game review? It's a herculean task, but we're down for the challenge! Find out more at https://roll-and-move.pinecast.co

Producer Tom returns to the virtual studio to help your boys finish this shortened off-season with a good-old-fashioned knockout game. For the third time in TIA history, Chuck dove deep into the PWI Top 500 archives and compiled two lists. One is made up entirely of real wrestlers who appeared in the top 500 lists. The other is names Chuck made up. Will the contestants be able to tell which is which? Be sure to check out Rough Draft Games and listen to the Roll and Move Podcast!  

It's an episode of pure PUNishment today. If you don't like terrible puns, then you might PUN out of steam before the end of this episode. But we still consider it our resPUNsibility to push forward with this crap anyways...Pun Intended is a party game created by The Game Chef that's intended for 4-12 players with an ungodly 60 minute playing time (Thankfully, we don't think it would take anyone nearly that long to rattle off a couple of puns to their friend).Join the Rough Draft Games crew as we plow through a hastily made party game and talk esoterically about the nature of comedy and laughter all the while vomiting up wordplay. Right about now would be a good time to close with another pun, but quite frankly we're sick of them and you probably are too...

Duuuuuude... So reading that, can you tell me if I'm writing that in the voice of a cowboy or a robot? Can't tell? Eh, maybe the game is best played in person. OR maybe it's best to not play it at all!Today the boys over at Rough Draft Games sit down with Northstar Games' More Dude! Yes, it is a sequel, and yes, you will be saying the word dude a lot. If that's not your thing, don't worry, the game is only 5 minutes long.But hey, that's all just like OUR opinion man. To see what you think, pull up a seat, kick back and have a little bit of a listen!

"Put up your dukes, because I'm going to hyper-extend your neck like there's no tomorrow!" These sorts of unique threats can only by uttered during a game of Rock'em Sock'em Robots.

So grab a ringside seat and listen in, to see who comes out on top!

Do you remember the best thing about those old Blitz games from the N64? While some may say it's the easy-to-learn controls and rapid-fire gameplay, we here at Rough Draft Games know the truth, Letting players superfluously hit their opponents after they're down was the TRUE masterstroke. Today we're not only looking at a football game that does quite a good job of balancing simple mechanics with short and snappy gameplay, but it also lets you tackle cyborg football players so hard that you end their career early. Say hello to Battleball, Quite possibly one of the best Hasbro games we've ever played. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the cathartic mayhem!

You know how there was that one character in Harry Potter who everyone was like, REALLY afraid of? So much so, that they wouldn't even say his name? Well, there's a boardgame equivalent for that. It's called trouble. It's so dark and evil that we here at Rough Draft Games haven't thought about it or spoken its name in well over 20 years. We're of course talking about Trouble... We're not quite sure if it's the inability to enter the game until you roll a 6, or if it's the aneurysm-inducing POP of the "dice agitator" but there's something about the game that really eats away at your will to go on. Luckily, it turns out that all ya gotta do to fix it is throw on a Harry Potter theme on it and call it a day! Join us, as we take a look at the Triwizard Mage Game and flex our knowledge of Harry Potter Trivia and our undying love and devotion to the series that refuses to die!
