About this game

Skulls of Sedlec puts you in sandals as a novice monk tasked with the grimmest kind of home decor: arranging human skulls into the most honorable display the half-blind Bone Collector has ever seen. War and plague have left the graveyard overcrowded, so you dig up graves, draft the cards you uncover, and stack skulls into your own private arrangement. It's quick, quietly macabre and surprisingly tense for a twenty-minute card game, since the Bone Collector only crowns one winning stack, and the difference between reverent and ridiculous is razor thin.
