Brilliant - The Game

Brilliant - The Ingenious Roll & Write Game

Experience the hit board game from Ravensburger in a whole new dimension! The Brilliant app brings the captivating “roll & write” concept straight to your smartphone or tablet. Whether you’re a seasoned tactician aiming to climb the global rankings or a casual player looking for a quick game on the go, this adaptation delivers everything a dice enthusiast could want.

The Game: Brilliantly Simple, Simply Brilliant
The core idea remains as ingenious as in the original by Ralf zur Linde: two dice determine the fate of all players. But while the physical board game has everyone marking their sheets with a pen, the app streamlines the gameplay. Your task is to place the rolled numbers strategically on your digital score sheet.

The challenge? Each number must be placed orthogonally adjacent to an already filled space. The different colored sections of the board put your skills to the test: where should you place each number? Which values make sense in which areas to secure bonuses early on? The game is a constant balance between risk and safety.
