Lost Cities: Roll & Write

Players roll sets of color and number dice and draft one color-number pair to mark on a personal score sheet of eight vertical columns: six colored expedition routes, an artifact column, and a dice (exhaustion) column. Numbers are written from the bottom up and must be equal or higher than previous entries; zeros act as tens and can unlock a bottom "double points" circle for a column. Placing numbers on arrow spaces accelerates progress by copying the top value to another column, and filling artifact or dice spaces tracks additional benefits or fatigue. First players to reach the seventh space on any column earn bridge bonuses. The game ends when all players are exhausted or all bridges are crossed, and players total column scores (with doubled columns and penalties for incomplete expeditions) to determine the winner.
