Knucklebones: Cult of the Lamb Dice Game (2023)

Overview

Knucklebones is a dice game of risk and reward, created originally within the videogame 'Cult of the Lamb'. It has since been adapted in limited-run official sets as well as fan-made boards to keep the dice-rolling fun going!

How to play: The game consists of two 3x3 boards, each belonging to their respective player. On a player's turn, they roll a single 6-sided die, and must place it in a column on their board. A filled column does not accept any more dice. Each player's score, which is the sum of all the dice values on their board. If a player places multiple dice of the same value in the same column, the score awarded for each of those dice is multiplied by the number of dice of the same value in that column. When a player places a die, all dice of the same value in the corresponding column of the opponent's board gets destroyed. Players can use this to destroy their opponent's high-scoring combos. The game ends when either player completely fills up their 3x3 board. The player with the higher score wins.
