About the Game

Short Circuit: Roll and Write is a two-player competitive Roll-and-Write game where you connect microchips to complete circuits. You win by scoring more points than your opponent by making connections and causing short circuits. You need two different colored pens (e.g. red and blue) plus a 6-sided die plus the playing sheet.

Roll the die 3 times and write the results in the three empty boxes on the grid. If you roll a 1, don’t write it down and re-roll the die until you get a number between 2 and 6. The game ends when one player fills all 8 Score Boxes. If the Blue Player fills the 8 Score Boxes first, the Red player can still play one last turn. Only on the last turn, if you connect more than one MicroChip you can sum their values and write it in the last empty Score Box.
