About Knucklebones

Knucklebones is a duel of dice: place your rolls, smash the matching columns of your rival, and outscore a cunning opponent. Free in your browser, no ads, no sign-up.

How to play

On your turn you roll one die and set it in a column of your three by three board. Matching dice in a column multiply their value, but placing a number in a column smashes every matching die from your opponent’s facing column. Fill the boards and the higher total wins.

Tips

Stacking a pair or triple in one column is powerful, but it paints a target; weigh the multiplier against the smash it invites. When your rival builds a big column, drop a matching die to wreck it even at a cost to your own board.
