Horn & Dice

Horn & Dice is a roguelike where your dice serve as your deck. You begin with a few plain dice and rebuild them face by face as you travel through three acts of Slavic folklore.

Roll and fight

Each turn, you roll all your dice, lock the faces you want to keep and reroll the rest. Rerolls are limited, so you have to choose carefully. Stronger attacks require matching faces: a Heavy Attack needs two of a kind, while a Crushing Attack needs three. A flame behind each die shows whether its set is complete, missing a copy or has one to spare. When you end your turn, the enemy acts; its intent is always visible so you can plan around it.

Build your dice

Winning fights earns new faces to swap onto your dice. At the Forge, you can spend Sacred Cinders to make your strongest faces appear more often. Artifacts change the rules, while potions can help when a roll goes wrong.

Slavic folklore

The enemies draw on Slavic folk belief, including the Domovoy, who guards a house, Baba Yaga in her mortar and the many-headed Azhdaya. Mystery events also come from these stories, with offerings to Chernobog, the Kupala fire and deals with a witch-herbalist. Somewhere ahead, someone keeps blowing a horn, and an old man called the Seer may know why.
