## What is Roll Player?

Roll Player is a digital adaptation of a dice manipulation, strategy board game where you will compete to create the greatest fantasy character in the role-playing world!

Roll and draft dice to build up your character’s attributes!
Purchase weapons and armor to outfit your hero!
Gain skills and discover your hero’s traits to prepare them for their journey.

Earn Reputation Stars by constructing the perfect character. The player with the greatest Reputation wins the game and will surely triumph over whatever nefarious plot lies ahead!

At the beginning of the game, each player is assigned a random RPG class, alignment and a backstory. Through a series of puzzle-like dice manipulations, a player optimizes their character's attributes and attempts to maximize their alignment and backstory points. Earned gold is used to purchase various skills, traits, weapons and armor in the market phase of each turn. The game ends with a fully created character sheet of an RPG character and the player whose character has the most reputation points wins the game. The best character sheets are stored in the Hall of Heroes.

FEATURES:
- Cross-platform online multiplayer!
- Private online games with friends
- Synced progress across all your devices. Play online game on one device, continue on another!
- Play against 5 levels of AI (or multiple AIs!)
