About the game

What you do in a play session

In Roll Into Town, you're the new mayor of a small town that needs to become the region's hub. The catch? You have no clue what's out there! With a pencil in hand and dice on the table, you'll explore the land, discover resources, and build structures to turn your village into a metropolis. The game lasts 12 rounds, and in each one you roll dice to see what you find: rivers, forests, mines... Everything becomes raw material to expand your city. In the end, whoever has the happiest population, the most valuable land, and the most impressive buildings wins. And the best part? You can play solo or with a bunch of friends, because everyone plays at the same time!
