Gamegrene Likes the Roach as much as The Roach likes Gamegrene. Thanks!

“The Shab-al-Hiri Roach’s is rules-light, focusing more on the narrative, and resorts to dice only to solve the central conflict of each scene. It’s a great game for new or first-time gamers, as it doesn’t require a lot of rules knowledge, and I highly recommend it for both experienced and new gamers. It’s not something that’s generally suited for consistent week after week play, but it works fantastically as a fill-in game if one of your players cancels at the last minute. If you’re looking for a hilarious game that will satisfy your sadistic bent, The Shab-al-Hiri Roach is right up your antenna.”
