Quotes (from this video)
- One of the nice things is it feels a little less punishing than the original game.
- Monopoly Deal, I think, is a much more fun version of Monopoly.
- This game feels bigger than it is, and I mean that as a compliment.
- And so, you know, it's just full of those kind of mind games.
- Silver Frost is maybe the most punishing of the games in the series because you are doing worker placement out with your meles, gaining resources, using those resources to build cards.
- The game is actively trying to screw you over, and you have to manage it as well as the other players out there.
- I love Love Letter. Uh and uh it's one of my most played games of all time also cuz you can just throw it in a pocket and bring it anywhere with you.
- And it's inside of a fun Stitch plushy.

Overall sentiment (raw)
positive
Pros
- A nice version of RAW.
- Easier to teach if you've played RAW before.
- Enjoyed it.
- Would play this over playing RAW.
Cons
none
Thematic elements
- Based on or inspired by the game Raw
Comparison games
- RAW
- Raw the Dice game
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card Drafting — Um, and you will draw three cards. You'll flip them face up. And the person who essentially is the start player, um, let's just kind of cut the deck right here and I'll flip over these three cards. Let's do that. So, I got these three cards and you've got essentially Whoa, we got a Ross. So, we're going to put this to the side. We're going to draw a new one. There we go. So, we got a one. We've got an 18 and then we have one of those tokens for the middle um section right here which is the symbol right here.
- Flip and Write — Raw and Wright, which is a flip and right game based on or inspired by um the game Raw.
- Push Your Luck — You definitely don't want none, but that that kind of like, you know, cruddy spot is getting one or two. So, you're avoiding the five point penalty, but you also may not get the big bonus.
- Set Collection — You've got your cards. You're essentially trying to get at least three uh gives you five points. If you get four out of the five, you get 10 points. If you get five out of the five again for each of the rounds, that's where you really hit big.

Quotes (from this video)
- I have bundled three 25th Century Games releases in a two hits and a miss for you.
- So, Ryan Wright, I think, is a pretty good version of RAW that has the lightness to it.
- And the theme for me just totally misses it. It actually doesn't really have much of a theme at all.
- For me, this game is going to be a miss. It's going to be one that I'm probably not going to be pulling out anytime soon.
- But for me, it's just like way more fun. I really like it.
- Again, I would rather play this version of raw. um as Ratzia any day of the week.

Quotes (from this video)
- Raw and Wright takes the core ideas of Raw and blends them into a fast, approachable flip and Wright experience.
- The ancient Egypt artwork is beautiful, clean, and very readable, which is especially important in a write-on game.
- It feels thoughtful without feeling punishing, which is something not every flip and right manages to pull off.
- The bonus system here is refreshingly simple. Instead of complicated chain effects or remembering special rules, these bonuses usually just mean marking another box in a nearby section.
- This is still very much a combriven flip and write. It's not trying to innovate the genre or add a lot of new mechanisms.
- It's fast, approachable, and thoughtfully designed.
- And it feels like something we'll happily keep in rotation.
- If you've played RAW, I'd love to hear how you think this version compares.
- And if you haven't, does Raw and Wright feel like a good entry point?
