Description Description
Retrograde is a real-time roll-and-write inspired by classic 80s arcade games.

Evil Astrodroids are invading earth. Grab the joystick and blast as many as you can. Can you get the high score?

Each round, roll your dice as fast as you can. Race to roll combos shown on the target cards, claim the best card, and spend your dice to put the ‘Droids on your sheet out of commission. Be fast, or an opponent might beat you to the card you want. If you're the last player without a card, you can only reroll 2 more times before you're stuck with what you rolled.

Depending on the card you choose, you'll collect Coins and power-ups. Blast entire columns of 'Droids to destroy bosses for bonus points. Blast rows of 'Droids to unlock the power-ups you collect.

What a great game! The fast-paced "live-action" nature of the game honestly made me nervous at first; I was worried I wasn't going to be good at it and just be behind all game. That truly wasn't an issue though, as the bonus to being faster than the other players is nice, but won't swing the game. There's also plenty of points in the game to let you slow down and think about your next move. This ebb and flow from quick to slow to quick again makes the pacing sing, as the slow breaks are welcome but never outstay that welcome. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes roll & writes or real-time games.

This was fun! Play some retro tunes while you play. Roll dice, kill droids and add bonus. Will get a dry erase pocket folder for next time because I want to play again yay

A really solid real-time roll and write game that captures the joy, speed, and excitement of arcade gaming. The art and theme are super cute and fitting and every turn is a frantic roll-off full of split-second decision making. The end of the game comes so quick you're always itching for more - cool that there's like 200 sheets of unique combinations to play through!

Simple game done right! Real-time component adds a realism to the game that simulates playing the arcade version and having to make a split-decision. Love that each pad is different, giving each play randomness and making 2-player games feel unqiue because each player won't be necessarily going after the same cards.

A fun, quick dice roller that's easy to learn, easier to teach, and gives everyone involved healthy doses of adrenaline for each of the 8 rounds it lasts before a winner is declared. Best used as an appetizer for game night while waiting for straggling party members, or perhaps as a diffuser at the end of a more tense session. Playable in public and easily transportable.
