## Description
Hey board game fans! Ready for a faster, dice-filled version of the classic Alhambra? In Alhambra: Roll & Write, we swap wooden pieces for dice rolls and good old paper and pencil. The goal is straightforward: build the most of each type of building in your city, just like the original, but with a different twist. Each round, you roll some dice and mark the corresponding buildings on your sheet. When you mark a building, everyone knows, and this can influence future plays. The game's currency, coins, give you that extra boost, whether it's re-rolling dice or marking more constructions. In the end, whoever has built the most complete rows and columns and dominated the construction of each building type claims the glory. It's a game for those who enjoy Alhambra's strategy but want something quicker, or for newcomers to the roll-and-write world looking for a familiar challenge. Perfect for playing solo or with up to 5 friends, without much fuss and with that pleasant tension of seeing who will score the most in each category. It's the Alhambra you know, with a modern, no-nonsense touch!
