No bones about it: 13 BONES is a great deckbuilder

- by Tom Sykes

After Balatro revitalized poker, inevitably it's blackjack's turn to get the Roguelike deckbuilder treatment. So here's 13 Bones: a game about competitively drawing cards and trying not to exceed a magic number. In the original blackjack, that number is 21, but here it's a meager 13. You're trying to get as close to 13 as you can with your hand, in order to deal maximum damage to the enemy.

Meanwhile, your foe is doing the same thing with their hand of cards, drawing any number of cards they like, but with the increasing risk of getting busted and suffering serious damage. Whoever gets the closest to their magic number will win each round and cause the other harm. Even without the Roguelike deckbuilder elements, this is a compelling game of competitive blackjack with an enjoyably spooky theme.
