Rook & Ruin solo PnP chess board game

Out of the Box [Board Games]

Out of the Box [Board Games]

Watch “Rook & Ruin solo PnP chess board game,” a gameplay video for Rook & Ruin from Out of the Box [Board Games] on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Out of the Box [Board Games] on YouTube:

This week I've been playing a preview copy of the print and play board game “Rook & Ruin”. This is a deck-builder game that has you controlling the White King with chess moves as you explore a dungeon and try to defeat the Black King. In this video I give a brief overview of the game and play through a full game. This is a preview copy pre-Gamefound so some elements may change. Game provided by the game designer for this video. Game link: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/florianfiedler/rookruin Game play errors: --------------------------- I found my extra Knight! Eagle-eyed viewers (thanks) spotted that when I circled my Rook, I "turned" it into a Knight. Opps. That might have saved me at the end (or I should have collected a shield to escape the doorway). Time for another game! #boardgame #soloboardgames #printandplay #preview #playthrough #rollandwrite #chess #gamefound
