Jinx It announced for Steam with dice customisation and hand-drawn opponents

Manabrew Studios and publisher Odd Loop announced Jinx It for PC on Steam. The hand-drawn roguelike dicebuilder follows a player trying to earn a rematch after losing a life-or-death wager. A release date has not been announced.

Each turn involves rolling dice, choosing which to keep, rerolling the rest and arranging the results into Straights and Sets. One die can count towards more than one scoring combination, making its position part of the strategy.

Individual dice have different abilities. The Forge lets players alter face values and weights, remove or duplicate faces and add scoring bonuses. Lucky Charms, starting Dice Sets, Blessings and the Seer add further ways to shape a run.

Opponents interfere with the player’s combinations through powers that become harder to counter as a match progresses. The announcement includes a reveal trailer showing the cartoon artwork and scoring systems.
