Knucklebones: Dice Game

Jacob Stinson

About this game

Knucklebones is a quick two-player dice game of luck and nerve. Roll a die and place it in one of your three columns. Match dice in a column to multiply their score, or drop a die opposite your opponent's to knock theirs off the board. When either board fills, the higher score wins.

Ratings and reviews

Why on earth do I need to sign in to play this game? Stupid, no. Old review: Exactly what I was looking for, and a good (classic) AI opponent too or local 2 player.

This used to be good, now its just like the other knucklebones app I don't like. uninstalling

For Cult of the Lamb fans, it's exactly like the one you're familiar with. And for everyone else, it's still a great dice game with easy to understand rules and plays as great as it looks.
