Sortalis is a dice-building roguelike inspired by Farkle. Roll, score, and decide how far you’re willing to push your luck—then spend your winnings on Charms and upgrades that transform your dice, strengthen your strategy, and rewrite the rules. Every run becomes a new engine to build, exploit, and inevitably push a little too far. **What’s in the game?** • Endless challenges that grow tougher and demand new strategies • Over 150 upgrades to discover and combine into powerful builds • Rewards, unlocks, achievements, Dice Bags, and challenges to master • Multiplayer draft mode! **Roll, Set, or Bank** Roll and select scoring combos carefully. Roll again to make it bigger—or Farkle and lose the lot. Bank before your luck runs out. **Spend It in The Shop** Between Bouts, spend your winnings on Charms, Packs, Action Cards, and other upgrades. Don’t like what’s on the shelf? Redraw it and hunt for the piece your build needs. **Face The House** Every night ends with a boss that changes the rules. THE MISER, for example, won’t let you Bank until your Pot reaches 500. **Then Do It All Again** Every Bank and Farkle adds to your final score. Unlock 14 Dice Bags, tabletops, discover new combinations, and see how far you can push your next run.
