Description

You and your associates have been given the task of moving the remains of four families from the local cemetery to a new one, but due to laziness, incompetence, and a general lack of morals, the contents have shifted during shipping and you re left with a big pile o bones. The families living relatives have agreed not to press charges against the first person to sort and put to rest the bones of one entire family. Of course, being an unscrupulous lot, you ve agreed that mostly right is good enough… Pile o' Bones is a simple yet deep family card game where each player is trying to put their family of four to rest. A player only needs to own a majority of the bones in a completed skeleton to claim it. Players may draw new bones randomly from the bone pile hoping to get what they need or they may strategically break apart and move a partially constructed skeleton. Once a skeleton is completed, whoever owns the majority of the bones claims it as one of their family's members and puts them to rest.
