Davy bones

Davy Bones is a pirate-themed roguelike built around the dice game Yacht Dice. Each turn allows up to three rolls of five dice. Players choose which dice to keep, reroll the rest, and decide which scoring category to commit a combination to, weighing safer points against riskier hands. Because each category can only be filled once, the choices made early in a run affect the options available later.

Scoring earns gold, which is spent between rounds on trinkets, consumables and upgrades. These items alter base scores, multipliers, rerolls, gold income, shop contents and scoring rules, and can be stacked to produce high-scoring combinations. The score target rises with every round, and the developer states that the right combination of relics can push totals into the hundreds of thousands. Boss encounters take the form of sea monsters with gimmicks that can disable dice faces, target scoring categories or change the options available, requiring players to adapt their approach.

The game includes multiple difficulty modes that adjust the pressure and boss rules. Boss gimmicks, shop offerings, dice outcomes and relic combinations are procedurally generated so that runs differ from one another. An in-game Codex tracks discoveries, Steam achievements are supported, and completing the voyage unlocks an Endless mode for continued score-chasing. Davy Bones has now moved from development to a released state.
