About the Game

ROLL, ARRANGE, OUTSCORE

You have three rolls per turn to beat the rival's target score. Position dictates power. Arrange your dice left-to-right to build Straights and Multiples. A single die can bridge multiple combinations, overlapping your score into massive payouts. If you miss the target, your run ends.

RIG THE ODDS IN THE SHOP

Standard dice won't save you. You need to buy your way to a better build. Spend your winnings in the shop on consumables, extra rerolls, and draft from over 50 unique custom dice, each with distinct mechanics. To survive the later rounds, you'll need to stack combinations of over 100 different Lucky Charms, powerful passive items that bend the rules of the game. Turn terrible rolls into massive multipliers and chain effects across the board to push your score into the millions.

A HIGH-STAKES CARTOON WORLD

A hand-drawn, 1930s rubber-hose universe where everyone wants your coins. Battle your way through 10 distinct biomes, from a pirate cove to a cyberpunk den, each featuring unique rulesets and escalating difficulties. You will face down rivals and survive 17 unique boss fights, culminating in a final showdown against the Lord of Misfortune to clear your debt.

THE ODDS:

  • 50+ Unique Dice to draft, each with distinct behaviors and scoring rules.

  • 100+ Lucky Charms that act as passive modifiers to dramatically alter your run.

  • 10 Distinct Biomes featuring unique themes, escalating difficulties, and specific rulesets.
