Description

The Dwarves have taken over Pluto!

In Rocket Roll, you are rival Dwarven prospectors exploring the moons of Pluto in search of valuable gems. Bring back the right gems to fulfill contracts and improve your ability to gain more lucrative contracts. Attain the most wealth by the end of five rounds to be declared the Plutocrat!

GAME OVERVIEW:

The Dwarven High Council has set up headquarters on Pluto to establish mining operations on the Plutonian moons. As ambitious prospectors, you are vying to collect gems, use them to fulfill Council contracts, and gain valuable shares of the mining operations.

Each round you’ll send rocket probes to Pluto and/or its moons to acquire contracts or gems, respectively. The rocket probe navigation systems are based on an ancient tavern dice game though, so you must choose wisely about which ones launch.

The game takes place over five rounds with players rolling and placing rocket dice, claiming gems and new contracts, and fulfilling contracts to gain valuable shares. After five rounds, the player with the most number of shares wins.
