What the Dickens! from Benjamin R. Covington is a digital roll-and-write that can be played alone or with others.
It’s on Kickstarter, and in a brave, Christmas spirit move, backers get the game immediately. If you back out, you still have the game, and so Benjamin is offering us a bit of cheer on the trust we’re not Scrooges. You can see the details on the campaign page.
You’re a ledger clerk at Scrooge and Marley, just trying to scrape by for Christmas while looking after the family.
Ebenezer Scrooge does not make this easy.
You have got a handful of d6 to roll and assign to things such as coal, keeping Scrooge happy, finding time for Tiny Tim, and saving up for a Christmas Dinner.
The Kickstarter has one tier and a delivery date of December 2023. If you pledge $4 or more, then you’re in, and you’ll get the PDF.
That’s it.
DicePen will become the game’s permanent home once What the Dickens</eM is officially released.
Benjamin will try to get the game out before Christmas, and as it happens, the campaign closes on Dec 25th.
