Red Rising - Why Own It? Mechanics & Theme Board Game Review

We were provided an early review copy of Red Rising by Stonemaier Games; a board game based on the first trilogy of books in the Red Rising novel series by Pierce Brown. In this game we are introduced to the many characters of different castes, representing the social hierarchy of this dystopian future. Use clever hand management to achieve the right combination of characters and caste cards to create powerful synergies...and maximise that glorious VP at the end of the game.

Thanks for stopping by for our mechanics & theme board game review of Red Rising. We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.
