Schnitz is a dice based card duelling game, set in a cabin hand-carved from wood. Challenge your opponents to a duel and defeat enemy cards, while keeping an eye out for your opponent's tricks.

Roll dice to fuel abilities and rig the numbers if you must - just don't get caught!

Win Condition

Reduce your opponent’s coins to 0 before yours run out. You lose 1 coin when caught lying, and 2 coins whenever one of your cards is defeated.

Turn Start/Deception

At the start of your turn, roll the dice in secret and announce the result. You may tell the truth or bluff/rig the roll. Your opponent then decides whether to believe you or call the bluff (and the same applies on their turns). After the deception check, the active player must spend their dice to activate card abilities.

Ability Use

Each card can hold up to 3 abilities. An ability is loaded with 1–2 dice and can’t be used more than once per turn. Unused dice are discarded at the end of your turn.

Ability Types

Direct Attack (hits the opposing card), 

Ranged Attack (hits any diagonal or opposing card), 

Area of Effect (hits all enemy cards), 

Lifesteal (damage opposing card, heal half the damage), 

Block (shield an ally).

Dice Scaling

Dice values modify strength (e.g., [X] + 2, where X is the die value; a 6 becomes 8).

Defeated Cards

When a card is defeated, its owner loses 2 coins and replaces it by choosing one of two available cards.
