Calliope Roll for It! Deluxe Edition – Fast Dice Rolling Game of Luck & Strategy for 2–8 Players Ages 8+ | Quick Family Board Game Night Fun in Travel Tin

I saw this game on Wil Wheaton's TableTop (poor Jason Ritter) and had to buy it! I played this game with my husband a few times before packing it into my carry-on for a 9-day cruise with his parents, brother, brother's gf, cousin, cousin's bf, aunt, and uncle. This game was a life saver! We ended up in a horrible, grungy hotel the night before the cruise and this game took our minds off of the decrepit surroundings. Plus, the game comes in a small-ish and well-protected tin case that I decided to carry with me everywhere we went (you know, just in case I had need to Roll For It). On the cruise, during sea days or before dinner time, we got the entire family playing the game while overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and enjoying cocktails. The game is very easy to teach and everyone was able to socialize and have fun while playing. After the cruise, several family members texted me for the game information so that they could order it for themselves. The artwork on the cards is beautiful, my only recommendation would be to make the color more distinct between the bronze and gold framed cards. The velvet bag is good quality and handy for storage. The fit of the dice-filled velvet bag in the tin is a little tight. You have to flatten the dice into a single plane to be able to close the lid all the way. The dice are nice, all in good condition, no pip defects. Also, these are small dice, not your standard Yahtzee sized dice, so keep that in mind (it surprised me when I opened the game). Otherwise, I love it! It’s a nice, casual, light-weight game.

I LOVE THE GAME!! It’s FUN and easy to play! I like you came have 2 to 8 players at a time! A great family and friends game!!

This game is a fun easy family game. It doesn't have a lot of instructions and is easy for elementary children to play. My children like to play this and get the numbers on the cards to try and win the certain cards.

For one of the simplest games you could ever play, the replay value is incredible. Anytime I have friends over, we will eventually end up playing at least one round of Roll for It. The simplistic nature of rolling dice and matching them up to pictures of dice on a card is somehow extremely satisfying, especially after you have just played an intense game like like Pandemic. In general, it takes anywhere from 20-40 minutes to play this game. The more people you have, the closer you will get to the 40 minute mark. The Deluxe edition is great because it gives you eight sets of dice and the cards have beautiful designs on them, as you see in the products pictures. Some people might say the game is overpriced, but take a look at what it would cost to purchase eight sets of different colored dice and a deck of cards (hint: it will be way over the cost of this game). This game is perfect for a family to play together after dinner, or a group of friends to play while drinking. Old, young--it doesn't matter. My 55 year old mother loved to play Yahtzee, but after we played this game, she won't even think about Yahtzee! Roll for It is definitely one purchase you won't regret!!

Pretty fun Game!

Great game for children and adults. It comes with lots of dice so small children beware.

Even though there was some shipping issues, This game arrived on time and survived uncrushed unlike the shipping box that it came within. That said, even though I've read thru the other reviews, I had no problems with the quality of the dice. They were fine, the pips were fine, and the only thing I didn't like was the Mango colored dice are ugly. Why they just didn't stick to yellow (traditional of the four colors) or even go purple (a big favorite choice in my group) I do not know and it is not a big deal. As for the cards, They are very beautiful, but the quality of the card stock is almost paper thin. For a deluxe edition you would think they would be thicker. Also, the backs of the cards are divided into 2 separate deck colors. One has a silver back and the other a gold back. They did ths to represent the purple and red non-deluxe original decks. Now if someone wanted to buy the deluxe edition to have both sets with the upgraded artwork, you would have figured the backs would be all 1 color. As it is, you can use either deck for up to 4 players or mix them up together for up to the 8 players. The metal box will not hold sleeved cards unless you are willing to ditch the tray insert. I would recommend to save the cardboard in the dice sleeve bag. It helps line the dice up so they slide back into the cloth bag perfectly. I do like the game and if you put aside the little things I've mentioned, You will find it a nice compact game that can bring life to any event. It is simple to teach and takes very little time to play.

Love this game, even my five year old granddaughter caught on quickly!
