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.

Real blackjack, then everything you are not supposed to do at a blackjack table. Every winning hand builds a STACK and multiplies it by ODDS. Beat each table's target across eight floors of a casino that gets meaner the higher you climb. HIRE HUSTLERS Over 150 of them: a dealer who stands too early, a tell on the hole card, cards that score three times. Stack them into combos that should not work. DOCTOR YOUR DECK Mark, shave, bend and gild your own cards in the back room. Up to three tricks on one card. SIDE BETS Real casino side bets with stakes you set, turning your cash into score. PIT BOSSES Every third table someone sits in with a rule of their own: ties go to the house, your total is hidden, no doubling. PLAY FREE, UNLOCK ONCE The free game includes three characters and the full eight-floor run. One purchase opens up the full game: all eight characters and every Heat level to earn as you play, plus the Daily deal and shared-deck mode. No ads. No timers. Pitboss uses play money only. It does not offer real-money gambling or a chance to win real money or prizes. Success in this game does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
