About the game

What you do in a play session

Seven Bridges takes you on a paper‑and‑pencil journey through historic Königsberg, the city that inspired the famous seven‑bridges puzzle. Each game starts with a detailed map, crafted by a professional cartographer, that serves as your playground. At the beginning of each round, six dice bearing different icons are rolled; you pick one result and, from it, draw a street on your map, linking neighborhoods, squares and points of interest. Every line you draw opens new zones to score, but only by crossing one of the iconic seven bridges do you unlock extra ways to earn points, such as revealing new regions or completing strategic routes. The game lasts five rounds, and the player with the most points at the end wins.

The mechanic blends open dice drafting, line drawing, and network building, all recorded with pencil and paper. Supporting 1‑6 players, it works for families, friends, or solo play thanks to well‑balanced solitaire rules. Playtime ranges from 15 minutes (quick rounds) to 90 minutes (when the group wants to ponder each choice). With a weight of 2.3/5, Seven Bridges is easy to learn yet offers enough strategic depth for those who love optimizing routes and planning the best dice‑draft sequence. The standout component is the real‑world map of Königsberg, which not only looks great but also provides an educational glimpse into the history behind the bridge conundrum. If you enjoy connection games, roll‑and‑write, and discovering historical tidbits while doodling, this title will fit perfectly in your collection.
