About this game
Every soul in Purgatory plays by different rules. Every spirit has something to wager. Every roll could decide your fate.
BONEREADER is a dark card game adventure with narrative elements where you survive deadly games of chance against otherworldly spirits in pursuit of a second life. Build supernatural synergies between cards, mystical dice, and powerful items, overcome each opponent's unique "house rule," and uncover the truth behind your own execution.
