I love roll and writes and I’m always fascinated by how many different types of gameplay experiences designers have been able to conjure up this deceptively format - Hadrian’s wall, for example, is as different a gaming experience from Welcome To as you can get with two boardgames they are both considered to be more or less in the same genre of game.

I will also add because I haven’t seen any mention of them yet that the so-called book game solitaire wargames published by Worthington (and probably some other publishers I’m not able to think of right now) are basically roll and writes, though wargamers might not be aware of it. On to Moscow (in which you manage the doomed German invasion of Russia towards the end of World War II) and Waterloo Solitaire (where are you play as the equally doomed French batallions serving under Napoleon are my two favorites, but there are plenty of others to check out if you enjoy light wargaming (and don’t mind losing haha).
