Description from the designer:

Pencils & Powers is a 1+ Player Roll & Write adventure game system. Roll 3d6 and then assign the dice to exploring, monsters, and treasures. With the ultimate goal of defeating monsters, gathering treasure, and improving your heroes before time runs out.

The game is playable solo or with your friends. All players play simultaneously from the same roll of the dice. However each will individually choose where to assign those dice. As the game progresses the heroes will gain access to rooms filled with monsters and treasure. The treasure gets richer, the heroes get stronger, and the monsters become more powerful as the game progresses.

The game ends when times runs out, your heroes are all dead, or you have defeated all of the monsters. A final score is tallied and an ultimate winner is declared.
