Portable Dice Tower, Tray and Storage

Seems perfect for Rogue Angels!

If you are planning ahead for when you get your copy of Rogue Angels, this might be something to consider, especially if you will be taking the game with you to other locations. This is a really cool dice tower where you can see the dice bouncing down the zig zag path into the tray at the bottom. And if that’s all it did it would be cool to have and use!

However, when you are packing up the game to store or take with you to another location, all the cards from all players will fit in the large storage area along with all the tokens needed for the game. Up to 8 dice will fit in the narrow side opening, but you likely need only 4 dice and can fit a laser pointing pen in that slot along with the dice.

The standard version as listed on Etsy will hold about 25 standard playing cards in the storage area. Filamentality3D kindly made a special version for me with a bit more storage space to hold 35 or even 36 cards, which is perfect for 4 players with the maximum of 9 cards each player.

If you get yours now, you can use it with other games while you wait for the final version of Rogue Angels to arrive at your doorstep.

Here is a photo of the one I purchased:

Note: I purchased this myself at full regular price (ie, I did not receive a review copy). It was shipped quickly and packed well in a very nice almost custom looking box! I tested it with a prototype of Rogue Angels… the final version may differ.

(VC35) Meet Me At The Table (1 minute video clip)

You should watch this one minute clip to listen to someone who is VERY excited about the game! Tons of different characters. Difficulty can be adjusted per character. Enemy AI is fantastic. Love the personality tokens.

Focus – Gia and Talya

Comparing our 16 Heroes as to their Focus, both Talya and Gia come up on top with their Focus maxed out at 6, while four other Heroes have a Focus of only 2!

What is Focus?

The principal use of FOCUS is to allow you to reroll a die. If your play style is one where you like to reroll a die if you don’t get that “prefect” result, then Talya and Gia would be good choices from that perspective:

Of course there are MANY other unique attributes and abilities to all 16 heroes, but these are the top two heroes for Focus!

In case you are wondering, yes, “focus” is a nice way to refer to the ability to reroll a die. Other games also try to have a way to refer to this “reroll” ability. Example, in Dice Miner, some of the dice are “magic dice” and there is a “Magic Phase” to the game. Basically, “magic” just means “reroll a die”, and while playing Dice Miner we always refer to it as “reroll” and never as “magic” :)

Meanwhile, back here in Rogue Angels, since we are looking at rerolling dice, it is good to note that there is only one type of die in Rogue Angels with these six faces:

While there is only one TYPE of die in the game, you will have several dice available to roll at various times during the game.

It also is worth pointing out at this point there is NO “bad” side to a die. There is no “gotcha”… no “fail”… no “lose one point”. I like to view the Rogue Angel dice as NO FAIL dice. All six faces of a die are “good”.

However, you might be trying to roll to gain two moves… and rolling a “shield” will not be what you hoped for! You were hoping for the Move 2 icon or possibly the +2 icon (if you were rolling for movement). So, while there is no “fail” side to a die, you might not get exactly what you want:)

Comparing Characters (Choose Your Hero)

NOTE: All my information is based on the prototype with 16 characters that Emil so kindly sent to me… so things are not final and could change in the final game.

Each of the 16 characters available for you to play in Rogue Angels is unique. We may wish to call these 16 characters by their other name … HEROES (because we WILL meet up with other characters as we play the game).

The final game will come with 16 dossier envelopes, one for each Hero. A quick overview of the hero is on the front of the dossier.

If you play strictly by the rules, each player is given 3 random dossier envelopes. They will choose one and return the other two (unopened) to the game box.

However, since you will be playing as this hero for hours and hours on dozens of missions, I suggest implementing this house rule:

House Rule: Look through all the dossiers, one by one (including everything inside each envelope), and keep the one that you would like to have as your hero!

If you are strictly following the rules, you should skip the rest of this article.

If you are like me, and want to choose your hero out of the 16 available, then read on to see what some of the unique features are for each hero.
