A roll-and-write about running an auto plant, where the dice you don't take matter as much as the ones you do.
Who it's for
Roll-and-write fans who want genuine drafting tension instead of just rolling dice in isolation.
Not for you if…
You prefer roll-and-writes with no interaction, here, other players' dice choices directly shape your options.
Vibe's take
Puzzly and quietly competitive, you're constantly weighing which die unlocks the biggest chain reaction across your sheet before someone else grabs it.
Motor City puts you in charge of an auto plant during Detroit's golden age, marking off interconnected tracks across two player sheets as you push production, engineering, and testing forward. Over eight rounds, colored dice land on a shared blueprint table, and you draft which ones to use, twice each, before scrambling for whatever's left. It's roll-and-write with real drafting tension, where every die you take is one your rivals can't.
