FOUND IN A COAT POCKET. NOT YOUR COAT.

Pile of Bones

A deck-building roguelike dice game. Roll a growing pile of bones, chase combos, buy relics that break the rules — and descend, depth by depth, into The Deep.

DESCEND
12 ft— below the roots; the worms keep a ledger

Roll the bones.

Your dice aren't ten to a cup — they're a pile, and it grows. Field a handful, roll, keep what matters, reroll what doesn't. Every bone you buy, bless, or curse stays in the pile. Build it like you mean it.

A straight, photographed in the wild. Rare.

Pairs, straights, houses — and stranger shapes with older names. 18 combos to chase. Some are secret; the Pile shows them when it's ready. And the bones themselves come in moods:

One full score recap, hauled up on a rope: the cascade, the beats, the slam.

RECOVERED FOOTAGE

Sealed for transport.
The courier is still climbing.

The cascade. Bones hit the stone and settle where they please.

The beats. Combos score one by one while your relics take their cut.

The slam. The total lands hard enough to wake the neighbors below.

Rollo has wares.

Rollo keeps shop between depths. Most of it is priced at a very reasonable $4. The dead pay their debts. Eventually.

Relics

80 RULES-BREAKERS

Rules are load-bearing. Relics don't care. Coins for the Ferryman, a longer table where every bone is welcome, a mirror that likes what it sees. Each one bends a run around itself.

Potions

CHARMS, BOTTLED

One hard swerve, mid-run: transmute a die, echo a score, snake-oil a bad roll. Drink. Do not chew.

Runes

OMENS, CARVED

Stack the odds in stone. Full House. Fuller House. Fullest House. The omens escalate — 36 potions & runes in all.

333 ft— the records outlive their keepers

The records survive us.

Every bone, relic, charm, and omen — cataloged, cross-referenced, and slightly haunted. The Compendium keeps the ledger so you can keep your head.

Depth ??— the ladder keeps count

The Deep

Thirteen depths on the sign: eight honest floors, a Warden squatting at the bottom of each — and then the floor stops pretending. Below Depth 8 the ladder never ends. It just keeps count. So does the Pile. Every run drawn from one seeded pile of bones.
