Roll dice to build poker hands, collect powerful skulls with game-breaking abilities, and discover devastating combos. How far can you push your luck to master the chaos?\n\nROLL THE DICE\n\nSelect and reroll unwanted dice to chase ever more valuable hands. Strategically pace your rerolls or simply go all in chasing the ultimate poker hand to play!\n\nBUILD A DECK OF SKULLS\n\nChoose skulls to add to your deck and find new opportunities to increase your score. Experiment, find synergies, and try different playstyles. Construct a deck of skulls to turn even the worst hand of dice around, or pick skulls that reward risky play and pushing your luck.\n\nPLAY HANDS\n\nMake the numbers go crazy! Activate as many skulls as possible. Use your rerolls to gain every advantage you can. Upgrade chosen hands to increase their value and complement your deck of skulls to meet Kalma’s increasingly difficult challenges.\n\nFAIL AND TRY AGAIN\n\nIf you run out of hands, it's game over for you. Don’t worry, though. Persistence is rewarded, and the guardian of the Underworld seems to grow fond of you coming back to challenge him for just one more round.","facts":{"developer_id":1838503959,"developer_url":"https://pepperbox-studios.com/","first_released":"2025-11-14T08:00:00Z","support_url":"https://pepperbox-studios.com/","privacy_url":"https://pepperbox-studios.com/privacy/dice-of-kalma","website_url":"https://pepperbox-studios.com/","app_version":"1.6.3","release_notes":"BUGFIXES:\n- Fixed a bug where restarting a level in daily mode would display a UI window with three blank skulls.\n- The player can no longer continue a run if there are no hands left.\n- Korean localization fixes.","rating_current_version":4.82434,"rating_count_current_version":2021,"star_counts":[29,19,24,129,1811],"genres":["Games","Strategy","Card"],"languages":["NL","EN","FI","FR","DE","IT","JA","KO","LT","PL","PT","RU","ZH","ES","TH","ZH","TR","UK"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":["iphone","ipad","ipod"],"made_for_iphone_duo":null,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-10-21T18:23:13.851Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-10-20T00:54:11.538Z","reviews_checked_at":"2026-10-21T18:23:13.851Z","summary_written_at":"2026-10-20T05:18:11.591Z","placed_at":"2026-10-20T03:57:11.532Z","scored_at":"2026-10-24T00:42:14.116Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"A deckbuilding roguelike where players roll dice to build poker hands and collect skulls while challenging Kalma, the.","what_is":"Dice of Kalma is a deckbuilding roguelike in which players roll dice, reroll unwanted dice, and build poker hands.
