Roll for the Galaxy isn ' t as hard to learn as Race , but Race is honestly not that difficult either . The player reference sheets are there for a reason . Once you get a few games down it becomes second nature . Can ' t go wrong with Roll though . It ' s such a smooth game and plays really quickly . Haven ' t played Seasons at all but Roll isn ' t very comparable to Castles of Burgundy . They ' re just completely different games . In Burgundy , you ' re maneuvering around your opponents to interfere with them as much as possible while making sure you get what you need , whereas in Roll all you can do to interact with your opponent is potentially enable actions for them to use while you try to piggyback off of their moves or end the game . You also roll a bunch of dice and get potentially dozens of actions per turn , whereas in CoB you only get 2 plus bonuses . Roll can also be really punishing if you can ' t read the moves of other players but is still overall more forgiving and light than CoB . I really recommend watching Rahdo ' s videos on Roll because it ' s hard to explain the differences without showing them .
