Overview

What ABG knows about this game

In this beautifully illustrated roll and write, you'll take on the role of a young woman going on a once-in-a-lifetime journey around the world. Travel to incredible landmarks all over the globe - from the Pyramid of Giza to the Matterhorn. Follow the young artist’s journey through her postcards, sent back home to her family to recount the details of her trip. Try to be the first player to fill in enough boxes to make it to the top of the landmark in this roll-and-write. All players will pull from the same pool of numbers rolled on the active dice, using the values to make their way up from the bottom to the top of each landmark. Numbers must increase as you climb, so combine the values carefully! Each location card will bring a series of unique rules, mixing up play and adding to the challenge! At the end of each round, use the action die to change the dice pool and continue your race to the top! Featuring many of the classic Roll to the Top landmarks, this new edition provides new-and-improved game mechanics plus all-new illustrations by artist Horia Tundrea.
