Gameplay

🎲 In this game, all players start with the same landmark board. Each turn involves rolling dice, and everyone uses the same result. The goal is to choose numbers for your board, going upward and using larger numbers than the box below.

🎲 You have the freedom to use as many or as few dice as you want, and you can even add them together. The decision-making comes into play when you decide how aggressively to fill spaces – whether to use higher numbers for progress or play it safe with smaller ones for future flexibility.

🎲 The game concludes with a race to be the first player to fill all spaces on their monument, claiming victory. πŸ†

Thoughts

I think this is a moderately fun accessible game, that reminded me a bit of Trek12, another Roll and Write game. Nothing too exciting, but relaxing to play a game after dinertime!

πŸ‘ rules are clear and the game ensures a nice puzzle

πŸ‘ production quality is ace as usually from Allplay, those dice are truly epic! 😍

πŸ‘ There is a lot of variety due to the many boards included, even though the envelopes weren’t necessary

βž–The game feels not too innovative

βž–In the solo variant you use two sheets, which feels a bit wonky

6.5/10
