Welcome to the Sedlec Ossuary, around the 16th Century AD! The Black Plague and Hussite Wars have left the graveyard a bit… overcrowded. That's where you, novice monks, come into play. Your mission is to assist the Bone Collector, a half-blind monk, in arranging the skulls inside the crypt. But don't think it's just manual labor, mind you? You're in a fierce competition to create the best arrangement of skulls, honoring the last wishes of the deceased.

Each round, you'll excavate graves from the graveyard, revealing cards that represent different types of skulls. The challenge is to choose the right cards for your hand, collecting the skulls that fit your strategy. Then, it's time to arrange these cards into a stack, forming patterns that score points. Whoever achieves the best harmony and most points at the end will be the grand winner, and the Bone Collector will proclaim their stack as the most exceptional.

Skulls of Sedlec is a super compact game, released in 2020 as part of Button Shy Games' subscription package. It was a finalist in a design challenge by the publisher, which called for a game about a real-life location. Get ready for a set collection and pattern building puzzle, all with a macabre and charming theme. Perfect for those who enjoy a quick, portable strategic challenge!
