The “roll and write” genre, where players roll dice and write the results on a scorepad, continues to gain momentum. This is especially true for print-and-play games. With standard dice, all players need is a printed copy of the scorepad. Over the years, many variations have emerged, including using a deck of playing cards to create a “flip and write” game.

The game sheet consists of a world map connected…

Jungfrau A. Bietschhorn This region is a magnificent area with high mountain ranges, glaciers and is actually the most glaciated part of the European Alps. Visiting this area can be done relatively easy by car and if you want to go up, by train up to 3,400 metres above sea level, the highest train ride in Europe, the Jungfrau Railway is very impressive (and expensive!).
