Number Drop

A retro arcade–inspired roll-and-write that combines number placement with falling shapes. Each round, four number dice and one shape die define a polyomino and the digits to fill its cells; players drop that shape onto their personal grid and write the rolled numbers into the corresponding spaces. Players also hold five block tiles that can be spent to place obstacles on opponents’ grids. Scoring rewards groups of identical or consecutive numbers; the round where any player reaches the Game Over line ends the session, and the highest total points wins.
