Express Cross (Importação)

The dice-rolling mechanic is simple but the ascending-order scoring adds a great layer of strategy. Took a few rounds to fully understand the English rules, but once it clicks, the tension from trying not to break the sequence makes it really addictive.

I was a bit unsure about the scoring rules at first, but after a couple rounds the ascending number mechanic really clicked and made each dice roll feel tense. The paper tracking adds a nice tactile element that most abstract games miss.

The rule about writing dice sums in ascending order for a big score is clever, but the paper-and-pencil tracking feels a bit fiddly for a board game. The import packaging is flimsy, and you really have to hunt for the English rules online before you can start playing. It's decent for the price, but
