The Objective
Bonesaw: The first player to accumulate 3 points (win 3 rounds) wins the game.

Bonesaw Redemption: Win 5 games in a row.

To win a round in any game mode, players must be the first to eliminate both of their opponent’s hands.
Hand Gameplay
The game is turn-based. On each turn, players must attack a hand with one of their own. The attacking number of fingers is added to the targeted hand.

When a hand reaches its total number of fingers, it is eliminated for this round.

When a hand exceeds its total finger count, it resets to 1 and adds any additional points afterward.

Example You attack with your hand showing 3 fingers against the Devil's hand with 4 fingers up. The result is 2. (( 3 + 4 ) % 5 ) = 2
Chips and Power Cards
At the start of a round, both players receive 3 random chips to use on their turn only.

Players can use as many chips and power cards as they want before their attack.
Combos are very effective!

Most chips and cards can be used on any hand in the game.
The Skeleton
The skeleton is a passive secondary player that can only be attacked.
The player who eliminates the last hand of the skeleton wins a power card, granting a powerful advantage to its user.

If the saw eliminated the latest Skeleton hand, the power card is destroyed.

At the beginning of every round, the contested power card is randomly selected and placed on the table in front of the skeleton.
The Bell & The Saw
When the first hand of any player is eliminated, a bell mechanism appears at the center of the table. Players can choose to attack the bell to activate the saw.

Once activated, the saw randomly appears and starts moving clockwise around the table to eventually stop and target a specific hand. The number of hands in play indicates the different spaces the saw can move to.

In this example, there are only 4 active hands. If the bell is attacked, the saw will only have 4 possible spaces to move. The saw must always target a hand.


Any additional attacks on the bell with the saw active will move the blade clockwise around the table from one hand to another, and stop on its new target. The finger count of the attacking hand determines how many spaces the saw is moved.
Cutting Fingers!
At the end of every player turn, the saw has a chance of cutting a finger and eliminating the targeted hand from play.

The odds of the saw cutting are represented by a 6-slot gauge located around the bell and are set randomly. The more the gauge is lit, the higher the chances are that the saw will strike.

Every attack on the bell adds a charge (smaller circular lights on each side) When the third charge is added, the gauge increases by 1.
Reminders & Notes
Missing fingers will change the total finger count of an active hand. This will affect the amount of points required to eliminate the hand.

Players can use as many chips and power cards as they want before their attack. Combos are very effective!

Keep an eye on what items your opponent has in his inventory to foresee his next move.

Hey Tomsurl, you are totally right. This guide needs to be update. It was create when the game was still in early access!

And unless there was an update, Bonesaw you get rid of his hands 3 times you win the round (that is correct), but the Redemption is 9 rounds in total...

You ever just let him cut your fingers forever? Maybe there is a secret...
