About the game

What you do in a play session

In Roll to the Top: Journeys, you embark on a global adventure, visiting iconic landmarks like the Pyramid of Giza and the Matterhorn. This roll-and-write game has an artistic flair, with stunning illustrations following a young artist's journey as she sends postcards home. All players share the same dice pool, but the strategy lies in how you use the numbers to climb each monument — always ascending, never repeating values! Each location card introduces unique rules, keeping the game fresh and challenging. With improved mechanics from the original version and jaw-dropping visuals, it's perfect for fans of quick, fun, and personality-packed games. Play solo or with up to 6 friends in 20-minute sessions.
