About the game
What you do in a play session
Rehearsal For Life is a fast-paced dice-and-paper game where you tackle two consecutive challenges: School and College. In the School phase, you fill categories from 1 to 6, avoiding average results (which score zero) and aiming for point-scoring combinations. In College, things get spicy: you must complete eight combination categories like pairs, straights, and full houses, using a strategic reserve to save that perfect roll. The game has twists like the Golden Roll (doubling points if you nail it on the first try) and Risk Roll (which can grant an extra roll or cost you a precious resource). In the end, tally it all up to see who had the best 'rehearsal for life.' Pro tip: don’t underestimate the +50-point bonus for acing School!
