Tumble Tavern is live at Steam Next Fest.

Tumble Tavern is taking part in Steam Next Fest, running now until 26 October 2026. Free demo available now for Windows, native Linux and SteamOS.

Six dice. One more throw?

Throw six dice, hold the ones that score, then decide whether to bank your points or roll the rest. A throw that scores nothing is a Ruin: the points you have collected that turn are gone. Your banked points stay safe.

Enchanted runestones give you another decision. Bring three to the table and choose when to cast. Aegis, for example, shields your turn so a Ruin breaks the shield and lets you throw again. Do you spend that protection now, or save it for a bigger risk?

Start with the free demo

Try the first two Campaign fights and the Friendly and Copper Quick Wager tables. Learn when to hold, when to bank and when a runestone is worth spending. Our how-to-play guide explains the turn, and the dice and runestones guide explores the full game’s loadout choices.

Tell us how your games go

We would like to hear which decisions felt good, which rules were unclear and where anything went wrong. Join the Guildhelm Discord to share feedback, or use the Feedback and Report bug buttons in the game.

The full game follows on 12 November

This is the free demo’s festival moment. The full Tumble Tavern release is scheduled for 12 November 2026. If you enjoy your time at the table, wishlist the full game on Steam to get a release notification.
