About the game
Turn Queen of 12 into a real Roll & Write game with this expansion. It includes a completely new game mode with new rules for game preparation, 2 completely new score sheets and 2 new characters (8 cards). Instead of starting with 4 cards as in the basic game, you have directly a big deck of 8 cards. The gameplay is the same, but the sheets work much differently: per die, you may check the number shown AND the color. Of course, you still want to have a lot of both, but now it is even more important to get exactly the ones you are missing. You can specialize or work towards set bonuses. Colors also give bonus points, but more importantly, certain color combinations let you use powerful extra abilities. And if you weren't allowed to make any crosses, or you got exactly one die, you get to pick a special bonus, or save up for an even more powerful bonus. So the question of which dice you get becomes even more important, and sometimes you may even want to intentionally not take any dice at all. So it's even more important that you keep an eye on the others and their cards! Depending on the card selection, there are a number of different strategies you can use to get the maximum points out of your slips. There are also refill sets that include scoring blocks for both the base game and the expansion. Translated from the crowdfunding page
