Rolling Realms Redux

Collection Status
Description

In Rolling Realms Redux, players compete to earn the most stars over 3 rounds in a series of minigames. (There are 12 different “realms” included in the game.) This is a roll-and-write game, meaning that players will write on the game components using dry-erase markers.

Each turn, one player rolls 2 dice, and all players use the dice results on their realm cards to generate resources and earn stars. After 3 rounds, the player with the most stars wins!

Rolling Realms Redux is a standalone game, and it includes everything you need to play up to 6 players. It features the same rules and full compatibility with its predecessor, Rolling Realms, but with 12 new realms inspired by popular games from other publishers, a printed version of the living rulebook that will include explanations for all realms (original, new, and promo), with everything in a box designed to fit all realms ever printed.

All 12 realms in Rolling Realms Redux are 100% new and unique to this specific product.
