Digsaw from Stronghold Games

"Digsaw is a roll-and-cut game in which anyone can become an archaeologist!

Each turn, players roll dice and use scissors to physically cut apart their dig site to recover priceless artifacts buried in the earth. Make careful cuts in an attempt to excavate artifacts one at a time until you have cut your dig site into little pieces. A skilled archaeologist needs both precision and patience because at the end of the game, only isolated artifacts will score!

Are you a “cut” above the rest? Only the best student can be raised to the coveted position of senior archaeologist!"

            -Stronghold Games 

Some of my thoughts after trying it out solo are:

  • Involve a kid not up for using scissors independently by having them play the "Head Archaeologist" and rolling the dice, may be even have them call the cut options.
  • Seems open to making custom dig sites. The player sheet could also be enlarged with a color scanner and printer to adapt for smaller hands not yet up for quite as precise cuts. 
  • A way to practice scissor skills because sloppy cuts can lead to lost points.
  • Has decent solo play.
It's a cute game and could be a cute addition to your family game collection.
