What is Roll and Colour: Notepads

A roll and write game with a difference — it’s all about colouring! Simple game which can be a relaxing solo experience or a competitive race, with easy, medium and hard versions.

The game is played on small A6 sheets. Each shows a 3x3 grid with 17 shapes drawn across the grid. Columns are numbered 1,2,3 while rows are labelled 4,5,6. A different colour is also assigned to each number.

Roll four dice. Choose a column, row, and colour from the four results. Select an appropriate shape and colour it in. Repeat until one player has filled in their sheet.

The aim of the game is the end up with non-adjacent colours. Score one point for each shape which does NOT share a grid square with a shape of the same colour. On easy sheets score an additional point for each of the six colours used, while on harder sheets score for colours used on different types of shapes, or for a specific shape.
