## About

> RollforNews is a daily news game where you roll dice to unlock news categories and score points while catching up on the day's stories across 8 categories in a randomized order.
> 
> You start with eight news categories waiting to be revealed: Politics, World, Business, Money, Technology, Science, Sports, and Entertainment. Roll two dice. The result unlocks one category at random and adds points to your score. Read the concise rundown, then roll again. Keep going until you've cleared all eight.
> 
> - Roll two dice to reveal one of the remaining categories.
> - Read a short, editor-curated news summary for that category.
> - Earn points based on the value and combination of your roll.
> - Complete all eight categories to get a bonus and unlock your daily title.
> - A new edition drops daily with fresh stories and fresh rolls.
> 
> Every player reads the same eight rundowns. Only the order and your score change. No account needed, no endless scrolling, just eight stories and a pair of dice.
> 
> What’s to like:
> 
> ✅ Turns the daily news into a quick, structured ritual instead of a scroll spiral.
> 
> ✅ Same stories for everyone means the dice add flavor without altering what you actually learn.
> 
> ✅ That title ladder gives you just enough reason to care about double sixes.
> 
> Hint: Focus on finishing all eight categories for the completion bonus. Your title depends more on rolling through the whole thing than chasing perfect dice on every turn.
