About the game
The citizens of Burano, a picturesque island in Venice, are known for their creative flair in decorating their houses, making them a popular attraction for tourists and locals alike. In the roll-and-write version of Walking in Burano, the houses are painted. Players select dice of different colors to decorate the houses with plants, curtains, chimneys and, of course, the annoying cats. This version maintains the neat scoring from the original game and adds a unique gaming experience of roll and write. Based on the different decorations on the houses, tourists and inhabitants evaluate the players with points. At the end of the game, the player with the most points wins. —description from the publisher
