About the Game

13 BONES is a card-battler inspired by BlackJack and retro dungeon crawlers (and Balatro, obviously).

It is all about pushing your luck, but not blindly.

Stack the odds in your favor, build your deck, and bend the rules if you must.

Every enemy brings its own challenge, and not every problem requires brute force.

Try, fail, learn, adapt.You know, a little roguelite.

WHY YOU MIGHT LIKE IT?

It’s quick, punchy, and a little weird. Easy to pick up, yet hard to put down.

Something you could have found in an abandoned arcade machine.

WHAT YOU GET

  • Interesting enemies and mechanics

  • Unique art style, and a bit of humor

  • Amazing music by KOBOLD, courtesy by Heimat der Katastrophe

Overall: A short and memorable experience.

WHAT IT IS NOT

If you're looking for a massive roguelike, spreadsheet-level strategy, or infinite replayability, then 13 BONES probably isn't the game for you.

Instead, it is a short, focused experience, handcrafted with love <3.

GAME DURATION

  • Expected gameplay: 4-10h to unlock all the content

  • Short runs: 5-30 min, depending on your style

Think of it as a palate cleanser: ideal when you need a break from bigger games.

THE HOUSE MASTER always wins. It is up to you to change that.
