The Game of the Month for 2009 is The Rooftops of Ludovia.
The Rooftops of Ludovia was created by a team of very talented designer/artists from Brazil. They designed and manage the Portuguese game-news website Loodo. This team produces top-notch, professional-quality work. The game is clever and well thought out. The layout and art is as good as, if not better than, anything you’ll find in a store (and it blows my print-and-play games out of the water).
What’s the game about? Here’s a lightly edited version of their English introduction to the game:
“The Rooftops of Ludovia is a game with simple rules designed to make players feel like they are old-school thieves, jumping over rooftops, running away from the policemen and gathering Fame and Fortune. Our goal was to make a simple game with clear mechanics – something not very complex. It’s a casual (filler) game, but with enough elements to keep it replayable and fresh.
“The game feels very unpredictable, as it has lots of dice rolls and many events are defined by other random elements, but we tried to keep some tactical/strategic mechanics: action-point-based turns, player interaction, using equipment, and moving policemen to block paths.”
You can download an English version of The Rooftops of Ludovia from the Loodo site at: http://www.loodo.com.br/the-rooftops-of-ludovia/. Enjoy!
