About the Game

WELCOME TO THE UNDERWORLD'S DEADLIEST GAME OF DICE POKER!

Dice of Kalma is a brutal deckbuilding roguelike game where every roll matters. Collect game-breaking skulls, play poker-style dice hands, and challenge the grim guardian of the Underworld. How far can you push your luck to master the chaos?

BUILD POKER HANDS TO SCORE POINTS

  • Collect skulls that transform bad rolls into game breaking combos

  • Upgrade your favorite poker hands for massive multipliers

  • Push your luck or play it safe, the choice is yours

BUILD A DECK OF SKULLS

  • 70+ unique skulls with game-breaking abilities 

  • 8 upgradeable poker hands

  • Dark, atmospheric pixel art

  • Endless replayability

  • Leaderboards and achievements

NUMBERS GO UP

Activate as many skulls as possible with every hand and use your rerolls to gain every advantage you can. Upgrade chosen poker hands to increase their value and complement your deck of skulls to meet increasingly difficult challenges.

FAIL AND TRY AGAIN

If you run out of hands, it is game over for you. Don’t worry, though. Persistence is rewarded, and the guardian of the Underworld seems to grow fond of you coming back to challenge him for just one more round.
