Read the full game description

Rajas of the Ganges: The Dice Charmers condenses the original game into a roll-and-write race. Each round, dice provide symbols that let you develop your province, visit the palace, sail the Ganges, or collect and sell goods. Marking connected roads opens new buildings and bonuses, while river progress and market income pull your two score tracks toward one another. The moment your fame and money markers cross determines the winner, so every shared die presents a sharp choice between building an engine and accelerating the finish.
