Three Sisters

I've so far only tried two player but I am really enjoying it. There seems to be a lot of ways to try to win and that's always good! I'm really glad to have this game in my library!

Roll and writes are my favorite and this one is at the top of the list. Complexity is higher and you've got to keep track of what steps you're doing but all of the pieces work so well together and make for multiple different strategies.

The game is fun and offers lots of strategic choices. The rules are a bit complicated, in the sense that there are a lot of different bells and whistles, and nearly all of them come up at some point. I am not sure how it would work with people who are not experienced gamers. I have played it solo about eight times and it has not gotten old or repetitive. There are many different strategies to pursue. That is, you can specialize in different things. I do not know how many plays it will last before it gets old, at least in solo play. There is relatively little player interaction in the multi-player game. Each round offers several options. Each player chooses an action, and the one action that is not chosen must be taken by all players. You have to anticipate which one your opponents are likely to choose. Other than that, each person is pursuing his own strategy on his own sheet.

Three Sisters is a simple but complex roll and write. My wife and I have enjoyed it immensely, so much that my wife--hardly an avid gamer--has played it solo 7 or 8 times in the last month. My only concern is worries that it has a dominant strategy, but I'm still in the process of testing that out. Either way, it's a lot of fun, and I've certainly got my money's worth!

In Three Sisters, you'll roll the dice, then each player will choose one of those for themselves to action that space on the rondel and space in their garden of the die face, before everyone uses the lowest remaining die to take an additional action using that die face. This leads to some interesting choices about which die to choose knowing you'll get use the lowest remaining. We love the combos that can be pulled off with such a simple action selection. You can plant new seeds in your garden, water those gardens to grow the crops (if their column is filled at the end of the game they are worth VP), upgrade your Shed (additional enhancements and utility for other actions in the game), grow perennials (bonus actions esources, as well as column completion VP at End Game), cultivate different Fruit types (bonus actions esources, and VP along the way.), or even take care of an Apriary (bonus actions esouces, and VP for completed tracks). The way all of these systems feed into each other is incredibly well connected. We absolutely love this game. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

This game gives you a lot more choices than you would think. It’s a fun game.

This is a great roll and write for anyone who loves gardening. The theme is relaxing but the dice placement gets right when you want to make combos but the dice roll makes you work for it.

This is a really fun and engaging roll and write. I love that it's more complex than others in this category, but still easy to learn and fast play time. I love that you can have a long chain of actions that give you bonus actions, it's very rewarding.

This is an excellent roll and write game with lots of choices and combos. The only drawback is sometimes you can get bogged down with too many options and trying to figure out the best choices. It's very AP prone.

Love this game! It’s so fun and the combos are great. Plus it’s beautiful, which you don’t always get in this type of game. The solo game is mean and I didn’t want to do it, so I looked up a variation on BGG and I loved it - so I printed it out and that’s what I’ll be using.
