Roll Player is a strategic dice-manipulation game where players compete to build the greatest fantasy character. Draft dice to satisfy your character's class, alignment, and backstory requirements. Purchase weapons, armor, and skills in the market to gain Reputation Stars. Featuring cross-platform multiplayer, local pass-and-play, and a challenging solo mode against AI, this is the definitive digital RPG character-building experience.

Our Expert Score

94/100

Roll Player: The Board Game is a brilliant digital translation of one of the most clever board games in recent years. Instead of playing through an RPG, you are essentially playing the 'character creation' phase. You are drafting dice to fill out your character's Strength, Dexterity, and other attributes to meet specific class requirements. It’s a puzzle-lover's dream wrapped in a fantasy aesthetic, and the digital version by Mipmap is flawlessly executed.

The UI is clean and makes the complex dice manipulation—where you're constantly pushing, flipping, and re-rolling dice—easy to manage on a touchscreen. The inclusion of cross-platform multiplayer is a huge win, allowing you to start a game on your iPhone and finish it on a tablet or PC. Whether you're playing against the five levels of AI or competing in the 'Hall of Heroes' solo mode, the strategic depth is immense. It captures the 'just one more turn' feeling of the physical game while removing all the tedious math and setup time. This is a must-have for any digital board game collection.

Excellent Digital Adaptation of a great board game
Wed Mar 01 2023 FEB777

This is a really great digital version of the Roll Player board game. When I had first tried the physical board game I thought it was just OK, wasn’t sure why everyone was saying it was so great. But that was a couple years ago, and now that I’ve played this digital version, I love the board game and want to go back to the physical version again. Just purchased the new expansion for the physical version. I’m so into it now! This app is very relaxing to play, fine little puzzle, great music to go with it. It makes the gameplay of the board game just so smooth. I hope they add all of the expansions! I will definitely buy them.

Fun, but needs player customization, and high score list
Thu Sep 21 2023 Cutty2k

Title says it all. Very fun little strategy game, but solo play gets old fast. Would be great if you could completely customize a character with the full selection of classes, backgrounds, and alignments. I understand that this is based on a board game and the rules state you choose between two classes and are automatically assigned a background and alignment, but in the board game you could easily ignore this rule and create your own completely custom character from all available choices, so I see no reason not to add this feature here. Would add replayability to solo play. Also could very much use a high score table to track your recent plays, letting you chase your own high score.

My go to game!
Fri Jan 13 2023 Storzo

I purchased this app recently as I have had the physical version of the game for a couple of years now. I didn’t really play the board game a lot but since buying the app, I can’t stop playing it! I’ve been having so much fun developing my different characters by drafting dice, purchasing traits, weapons, and skills. The dice mitigation in this game brings me back again and again as I try to make the best character possible. After playing this app for a week now, I purchased the first expansion of the physical game so that I can bring it out with my local game group. I can only hope they the expansion gets released for this app as well. Great fun!

Phenomenal Implementation
Wed Dec 07 2022 Phoenixbetrayal

I hesitated for years to play the board game, erroneously thinking it wasn’t up my alley, and the investment was too much. Then I saw the digital implementation was coming to iOS. “This is my chance,” I thought. At $10 it’s more than I’d like to pay, but if you are in that same boat…worry not. This is easily worth it. Not only do I love the game enough to go seek out the board game, but I also can’t put the app down. It’s so easy to hop in and play a game. The mechanics are engaging, the tutorial is perfect. Absolutely phenomenal work on this app. I am already excited to see the expansions make their way to digital!

The best disappearing game ever
Fri May 19 2023 Bjorn Reddy

Lol. Yes your games will disappear on occasion but don't panic. They will soon reappear. It is unclear to me if your time to play continues to count down or not. I'm sure the company is working on fixing this problem as i and several of my friends have reported the problem. They make it very easy to contact them. I found the tutorial and playing vs the AI to be lacking in fun. So I thought I was not going to enjoy this game. That coupled with the odd premise for the game and i went into it with a very negative attitude. I was very happily surprised. When playing vs actual humans the game is a bunch of fun, and in order to win you can't use a set formula. You must take advantage of what is offered you and use it well. Normally a bug like games disappearing and reappearing would cause me to lower my rating by one star until it got fixed, but i'm having so much fun playing this game that i think it deserves 5 stars even with that bug! Great game! I highly recommend it!

Great solo - needs multiplayer and expansions
Wed Dec 28 2022 VirtualFish

This is a fun and relatively easy to understand game. The board game with expansions is always fun. Both expansions add quite a bit so adding them will make this game fantastic even if solo. The app delivers a very smooth experience and the ability to undo a phase before final confirm is excellent. Also love the preview option. Great UI. Please add multiplayer or bring this game to Board game arena.

Needs customization, otherwise fantastic
Wed Feb 12 2025 HillChik

This is a fun strategy game that depends upon a little luck. It takes a bit of time to understand the mechanics if you’re not familiar with the board game, but it’s worth the effort. The only drawback is the inability to choose your character when playing the AI. It’s frustrating. Other games that start with random assignments allow choice in their online versions (7 Wonders comes to mind). Why not increase the players’ satisfaction by allowing us to customize our starting characters? It’s a frustrating aspect of an otherwise perfect game.

Way too complicated for me
Sun Jul 16 2023 Dr. Zachary Smith

From reading the other reviews, I’m sure most people will disagree. But I found this game to be way too complicated. And the tutorial didn’t help a whole lot. I went through it twice, and I’m still confused. I had an easier time learning how to play chess. On edit: I received a very gracious response from the developer. So I added two more stars out of respect for that. But I think I’ll keep the title, just to warn others who might be looking for a simple, basic game.
