About the game
Hey there, future architect! In Blueprints, you and your friends will dive into the world of skyscraper construction (or something similar) using colored dice. The idea is straightforward: each player gets a secret blueprint to build from, and you'll need to use the available dice to assemble the structure correctly. Each round, you choose a die and place it in your building area. Think carefully, because each die has its own value and color, which will influence the final score and who wins the round's awards.

The game is divided into three rounds, and in each one, you reveal your blueprint, select dice, build your structure, reveal it all, and see who did the best. In the end, we tally the round scores and the awards earned to declare the grand champion of architecture! It's a quick game with easy-to-grasp rules, perfect for those who enjoy a visual challenge and a bit of luck with dice rolls. Ideal for anyone looking for something different, uncomplicated, yet still requiring good planning and a dash of luck. If you enjoy games with dice, construction, and a touch of light strategy, Blueprints might be your next masterpiece!
