Intro

This guide will tell you how to win Knucklebones. The instructions in the game are not strategies. This makes it easy to get into traps and lose. I will attempt to explain the game using screenshots, but I will not be able to do so at this time. I hope this guide has been helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The Very Basics

The basic mechanic of the game is that either the opponent or you roll your dice and then choose a column where you want to drop yours.
 
 
If the number you place matches a number in the column to your side, then both the numbers add together and then multiply by 2. If you stack 3 of a same number, then they add together and then make triple. Double 6's is 24 instead 12, triple 6's is 54 instead 18 and triple 6’s is 54 instead 18. This is THE most important part of winning Knucklebones every day.

If the number placed matches any number in a column on the opponent's side, the opponent will remove that number. If the opponent has multiple numbers in the columns of the same number, they will lose all of those numbers and the column will be empty. This is important to avoid your opponent scoring double or three times as high, which could result in a loss.
 
 
Both the previous rules work in reverse. Your opponent is entirely capable of destroying your double triple point columns.

Now that you have the basics down, it is time to apply those basics to win.
 
 
 

Strategy

Knucklebones has two goals. One, remove enemy high point values while allowing them to keep low point values. Two, stop the enemy removing your high-point combos. Both of these are necessary simultaneously so this strategy attempts to do both simultaneously.
 
 
This strategy is based entirely upon your opponent's move. If they roll low, place high numbers in that column. They can't choose between a low point combo and wasting a column's ability combo for more points. Your combo points can't be stopped by a full enemy column so you should focus on creating high-roll combinations there.

If your opponent rolled a high roll early, you can ignore it for now unless the high roll can be removed immediately. If they are not using the full potential of their rolls, the column can be ignored. However if they begin stacking a double or three with the high roll you will need to remove it.

Focus your attention on securing a high point combo and preventing the opponent's from doing so. Concentrate your high-rolling on columns where the opponent already placed non-combo dice. The old rule states, "Never interrupt a player who is making a mistake." If the enemy is filling columns with low numbers don't let them. If they are able to remove the low rolling, they will be able to insert higher rolls.
 
 
After the first few moves, the priorities change as follows
 
1. Your high point combo
 
2. Removing the opponent's high-point combination
 
3. Avoid removing opponents with low points
 
4. Get a low point combination
 
5. Remove the opponent's low-point combo
 
 
At the end, you should win any game that isn't ruined by bad rng. You can win with all your might, but it's not always easy. Doing things right will help to win more often.

I hope this guide has been helpful. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
