Note: While I do say "We" a lot during this review, I (Ashton) have still only played it solo! Just so used to saying "we" during these reviews. -Ashton
A quick aside for any Hadrian's Wall fans who aren't aware, the designer also created a campaign pdf document after the original printing. Available on BGG: boardgamegeek.com/filepage/224266/hadrians-wall-official-solo-campaign
This is a great logic puzzle, it looks crazy but think of it as a gamer crossword puzzle. Once you learn the framework it’s so satisfying and makes a lot of sense.
You're absolutely right about this being a solo-only game. I can't imagine trying to teach this to others while they only have their own boards to look at. Have you had a chance to try the official solo campaign?
haven't tried the official solo campaign, since I just wanted to cover what was in the box. Awesome that its free for people who want more content though! -Ashton
I grabbed it for $20 used after playing 2-player with a buddy. I had a great time playing with someone else as we talked about what we were attempting to complete (I tried to max scout, while he was all in for temples). So yeah, I have tried the solo campaign a few times (can't seem to beat the first 2 levels).
Agreed. My friend showed me this game back when it came out, and we played two player… immediate impression upon completing our game was that it is essentially a solo game and likely plays best solo! That being said… I have been thinking about picking up a copy ever since. It’s an entertaining puzzle, and without having to worry about other people waiting for you figuring out all the combos each round.
Fun fact: woke up after falling asleep while watching TH-cam to a documentary about the Roman invasion/occupation/integration of England…And, lo and behold, suddenly learned about the actual Hadrian’s Wall!
I don't solo game but I keep looked at this one but that price makes me change mind everytime... Has anybody ever just laminated a couple pages and used wet erase markers?
I've seen people putting glass on top of it, but yeah the price is really quite steep if that's a concern for you. The replay value in terms of pages included is fine, likely nothing to worry about there -Ashton
i came to comments section to see if anyone else noticed that :) f me that sound is annoying, will all the kickstarters hes backing i guess no $ left for a decent pen

Had to fill out my tax return, ticked so many boxes. Feeling pretty damn Roman right now.
Nice to see a roll and write style game without excessive randomness. Nice review guys!

Definitely not for me lol but I always appreciate reviews from you guys!

Ooo dang now I want this game! Roll and writes got me

for sure! Definitely really odd how they include components for up to 6 players ahaha. -Ashton

woohoo! defend against those picts! -Ashton
And now I want to play this game.
Appreciate the Rome Total War music
one of the best games ever! -ashton
Lol no way I just bought Hadrians Wall and played my first game of it today!
Just looking at the size of those sheets... man, I still don't know if I want to get the game.
It looks intimidating at first, but once you've played a round or two it's actually quite easy to read the board.
The text and symbols are small for sure, but if you're playing single player that's 99% all you'll be looking at -Ashton
5:55 😂😂
Echo the comments that the solo campaign adds an additional layer of variety.
Definitely better as a solo experience than multiplayer.
Love the b footage at the end.
ahaha thought it would resonate with solo players! -Ashton
i was wondering, will you review frosthaven ? thanks
yep, we will review it! Just waiting with bated breath atm for it to come in -Ashton
SALUDOS DESDE ECUADOR!!!!. Love your videos.
cheers man!! More stuff coming -Ashton
I wonder how this competes with other Roll/Flip n Writes.
It's one of the best on the market right now.

Great video! I dislike roll n write though.
Even people who dislike roll and writes have enjoyed this one. It feels more like a medium weight euro than it does a standard roll and write.
Your pen ink is a pain in the arse for those ADHD to watch! By the way. Have you tried campaign mode for solo? It’s challenging.
Dude, you need a better pen!
