What it does
Roll, hold, reroll
Cast five bones, keep the ones you like and reroll the rest twice. Build hands like Twins, Trine and Great Omen to beat each spirit's score.
Paint your own dice
Between spirits, paint any side of any bone. Raven doubles its neighbour, Ice stays frozen for the next cast, Moon counts as any number.
25 amulets, real builds
Amulets feed on your hands, your painted faces and each other. Buy, sell and swap them in the shop to shape the run.
A run fits in a break
15 to 20 minutes from the first cast to the last spirit, saved after every action. On iPhone, iPad and Mac, with touch, mouse or keyboard.
