Read full description

Knucklebones is a small dice game about two friends on a front stoop. You roll a die and place it on your board. Kit, your friend, does the same. Match one of his dice in the same column and his goes off the step. Match your own and they multiply. That is the whole game. It takes a minute to learn and a while to stop thinking about. Beat Kit twelve evenings in a row and the stoop is yours. Then keep going, if you dare. ONE RULE, FIFTY-THREE WAYS TO BEND IT Between rounds you stop by the corner store. Relics change what a die is worth, what it can knock off, what a column pays, and what a corner is for. None of them replace the rule; they lean on it. The best combos are the ones nobody told you about. KIT He sits across the board every round. He greets you when the streetlight comes on, complains when you knock his dice off, and gives up the stoop when you finally take it. Do not get used to it, he says. BLOCK PARTY Once a day, everyone on the block rolls the same dice. Same seed, same store, same luck. See how far you get, then ask a friend how far they got. THE PHONE IS THE DIE Shake to roll or tap ROLL. You feel the die leave your hand, tumble, and land. The board tilts with your hand. Reduce Motion is honored from iOS and from the game's own settings. Runs are short and restarts are instant. Nine languages. No ads, no accounts, no internet required. One purchase, the whole game, made by one person.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Fluxx at Free against Knucklebones's $4.99. Fluxx also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Knucklebones's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
