About the game
Get your dice and your pen ready, because Roll to the Top! is a wild race to fill your challenge sheet! The goal is simple: cover all the little squares on your card with numbers. Each round, some dice of different sides (there are 4, 6, 8, 12, and even 20-sided dice!) are rolled for everyone. That's where the magic happens: you have to write down the numbers on your sheet, always from bottom to top, ensuring that each number is equal to or greater than the one below it. You can use the number from a single die, or sum several to form a larger number. And if a die doesn't please you? You can skip it without regret! But wait, there's more! Before the next roll, a special white die decides who gets to mess with the dice: add a new one, remove one, or even swap one of the dice already on the table. The tactic here is to create the best opportunities for yourself, because these dice are tricky and you never know what they'll show. Anticipate the chances and good luck on your climb!
