Description
In the early days of the coronavirus, a time of self-isolation for many people, Jamey decided to create an infinitely scaling roll-and-write game to teach and play with people around the world via Facebook Live.
In Rolling Realms, players compete to earn the most stars in a series of minigames over 3 rounds. This is a roll-and-write game, meaning that players will write on the game components using dry-erase markers.
Each turn, one player rolls 2 dice, and all players use the dice results on their realm cards to generate resources and earn stars. After 3 rounds, the player with the most stars wins!

positive
Pros
- High replayability from mixing and matching cards from different games
- Strong sense of flavor from the original Stonemaier titles
- Huge, chunky dice are enjoyable to roll
- Expandable with future titles/cards
Cons
- Potential for catch-up inequality in scoring (top score early can demotivate others)
- No explicit player interaction; may feel solitaire-like to some players
Thematic elements
- Resource management and scoring through dice-driven actions across multiple themed realms
- A modular roll-and-write where each realm is a different Stonemaier title
- Mechanical with thematic ties to the original games
Comparison games
- Castle of the Mad King Ludwig
- Euphoria
- Charterstone
- Pendulum
- Wingspan
- Red Rising
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- card-driven scoring — Each card specifies how resources are earned and how points are scored; players use cards from the round in a shared deck.
- Compound Scoring — Some cards score based on completing columns/rows; constraints like 'each number must be lesser than the one below' or 'fill from bottom up' apply.
- dice placement — Roll two dice per player and allocate dice to the featured cards; dice cannot be placed on the same card simultaneously; each card has its own scoring/resourcing rules.
- Dice rolling and placement on multiple cards — Roll two dice per player and allocate dice to the featured cards; dice cannot be placed on the same card simultaneously; each card has its own scoring/resourcing rules.
- Expansion-friendly design — The card-system enables easy addition of new titles/cards and future expansions (e.g., Red Rising) to extend play variety.
- Fill from bottom/top and column-based scoring — Some cards score based on completing columns/rows; constraints like 'each number must be lesser than the one below' or 'fill from bottom up' apply.
- mini-games — Dedicated solitaire mode including a mini-golf-style course with specific turn counts and scoring conditions.
- Resource management — Use pumpkins to modify dice values or to gain dice, use hearts to gain dice of a rolled value, use coins to modify die outcomes or gain dice, etc.
- Resource types and manipulation — Use pumpkins to modify dice values or to gain dice, use hearts to gain dice of a rolled value, use coins to modify die outcomes or gain dice, etc.
- Round structure and scoring conversion — Three rounds per game; at the end of each round, convert remaining resources into decimal point score (0.1 per resource); no carryover between rounds.
- Solo variant — Dedicated solitaire mode including a mini-golf-style course with specific turn counts and scoring conditions.
