Bones to Pick is a Rogue-adjacent  Skeleton-builder made in 10 days for Pixel Game Jam 2025.

How to Play:

Everything is controlled with the mouse - also, play the tutorial!

Tips & Tricks:

  • Try to have an even balance of Attack and Block Cards,
  • Click on the Draw, Discard, Passive, or Burn Piles to see what Cards are in them.
  • Lots of enemies can stall you out - play aggressive!
  • You only draw 4 Cards a turn normally. If you can't do much with them, prioritize taking Bones that grant expensive Cards, or Cards that draw more Cards.
  • Unless you have free space, you should always aim to replace your starting Bones. The Wobbly Leg is especially bad - get rid of it as soon as possible.
  • If you're really struggling, there are a few infinite combos in the game - most of them utilize the Ancient Skull.

This is seriously impressive. Love the core mechanic with the bones determining your cards. Card art is really nice, all the UI and card/bone selection is really smooth. Skeleton summoner is tough but not too tough.

Thanks! Balancing a strategy game is hard without extensive playtesting, so I'm glad to hear I got it right.
