About this board game

Rolling Heights is a city-building game for 1–4 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Set in the 1920s, it places you in the role of a general contractor starting a business in a rapidly expanding city.

Your workers are represented by meeples, and you roll them to determine how they contribute to your growing construction operation. Standing meeples work hard that day, providing special actions and building materials, while face-down meeples provide nothing.

The central challenge is deciding how far to push your luck. You can keep rolling your workers in search of better results, but taking that risk may cost you valuable materials needed to construct new buildings. Each decision can affect your ability to turn resources and worker power into completed projects.

  • Roll meeples to determine which workers are active.
  • Use standing meeples for special actions and building materials.
  • Choose whether to push your luck for better rolls.
  • Complete buildings to gain prestige and new workers.
  • Build toward larger projects, including skyscrapers.

Completing buildings earns prestige while expanding your workforce, giving you the means to take on increasingly ambitious construction projects. New workers can help you progress from early developments to larger buildings that shape the city’s skyline.

In Rolling Heights, every roll contributes to the story of your contracting business. Manage the results of your meeples, protect the materials you need, and see whether your building efforts can create the city’s next famous landmark.
