HOW TO PLAY KNUCKLEBONES
• Roll the die and place it in one of your 3 columns
• Matching dice in a column multiply their score (2 of a kind = 2x, 3 of a kind = 3x)
• Placing a die removes matching dice from your opponent’s column
• First to fill their grid ends the game — highest score wins!
Simple to learn, endlessly deep to master. Whether you’re a Cult of the Lamb fan looking to practice or a strategy game enthusiast seeking a new challenge, KnuckleTrainer is your path to mastery.
