About the game:
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.

Great news for board game enthusiasts! I’m excited to see the release of Retrograde, a roll-and-write board game that pays homage to classic arcade games of the 80s. It’s interesting to see how the designer incorporated elements from games like Space Invaders and Pac-Man into a board game format. The retro theme and artwork of the game also adds to the nostalgia. I can’t wait to try it out!
