Barranquilla, in Colombia, has the world’s largest Carnaval celebration outside of Rio. It is a raucous celebration lasting four days (and nights).

In this solo dice game, you take on the roles of several characters at Carnaval and try to make the most of the party by achieving the most victory points before the celebration ends.

Gameplay

Each round you roll six dice, and use them on one of the four character tokens with matching color. The white dice are wild and can be used on any character, to move them or activate their ability:

• The Dancer (Red) Earn points for each token in this square, including the dancer herself!
• The Officiant (Blue) Move the end-game marker down the score track for each token in this square.
• The Bandleader (Yellow) Move any other token into or out of this square.
• The Pickpocket (Black) Lose two points for every other token in this square!

By cleverly choosing the order to use the dice and the abilites, you can guide the crowd and tame the chaos of Carnaval, and earn the most victory points!
