SEGA shares a new Sonic Roll promo video

Sonic Roll is the newest addition to the expanded Sonic merch line, and it’s a board game coming from the people at Kess Entertainment. In this adaptation, Sonic hits the gaming table in a dice-rolling adventure, taking 1-4 players through memorable zones, iconic obstacles, and handsome rewards.

Sonic Roll is actually available right now, but if you’d like a closer look at what the game has to offer, SEGA has you covered. In the video above, you can see a sped-up version of how a gameplay session progresses, and it should certainly do quite a bit to whet your appetite.

In Sonic Roll, play as Sonic and friends as you traverse iconic Zones from classic Sonic games and save the woodland creatures the evil Dr. Eggman has captured! Use character-unique abilities to roll dice and take out obstacles in these heroes’ path! Place dice down to speed through Zones, collect rings, and defeat Badniks that stand in your way. Complete enough Zones Cards to finish the Zone and face off against Eggman himself! This cooperative 1-4 player adventure is jam-packed with 4 Zones to choose from. Challenge a single Zone or adventure through Campaign Mode to try to collect all 7 Chaos Emeralds. Whatcha waiting for? Time to show that Eggman who’s boss!

Sonic Roll has players work together to eventually complete enough Zone Cards to fight a boss and save the world! Play a quicker single game, or take on all 4 Zones (Green Hill Zone, Stardust Speedway Zone, Lava Reef Zone, and Chemical Plant Zone) in a campaign to find the 7 Chaos Emeralds and eventually confront the mad scientist. Whether you’re a fan of the franchise or simply enjoy dice games, Sonic Roll is an action-packed game for everyone to enjoy!

Play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, or Amy as you battle your way to Eggman! Collect rings, obtain power-ups, and smash Badniks in your path! With an intense dice-rolling adventure ahead, game-play lasts 30-60 minutes, just enough time to grab a few Chaos Emeralds along the way. Now grab some dice and a pair of speed shoes, and start running!
