Description

Write the sum of the numbers rolled out of the dice on a piece of paper. If the number written on the paper is in ascending order, you can get a big score. However, two spaces for writing numbers are given in the shape of a cross, and a special dice adds to the fun of the game.

Quotes (from this video)
  • Oh man, I'm rolling really, really bad at the moment.
  • The coolest thing by far is the box design. It has, like, as I showed you, the small corner cutout here in the sheets where you can place the dice. That is such a clever touch.
  • Is this a deep or thinky game for hardcore gamers? Definitely not.
