In "Passa as Passas" (Pass the Raisins), you and a crowd of up to 99 players gather for a roll-and-write challenge that will test who has the steadiest hand (and the best aim) when it comes to grabbing those famous raisins from the rice. The premise is simple, but the fun is guaranteed: imagine a bowl of rice where players circle like on a rondel board. Each round, two out of three rolled dice dictate your moves. When you land on a space, you draw a bit of rice or, perhaps, a tempting raisin onto your personal plate, which is a grid to be filled. The goal? Accumulate the most points with raisins, but beware! They cannot be placed adjacent to each other horizontally or vertically. It's a quick game, ideal for livening up any Christmas or New Year's party, with that touch of Brazilian humor and nostalgia for a recipe that divides opinions. As a 'Print & Play' game, you can prepare everything yourself at home, making it accessible and perfect for gathering friends without hassle. The variable setup ensures each game is a new experience, and the grid coverage mechanic with point-to-point movement, combined with dice rolling, creates an engaging puzzle where every stroke counts. ## FAQ ### How many people can play?
