Description
Too Many Bones comes loaded for bear by breaking into a new genre: the dice-builder RPG. This game takes everything you think you know about dice-rolling and turns it on its head.
Dripping with strategy, this fantasy-based RPG puts you in the skin of a new race and takes you on an adventure to the northern territories to root out and defeat growing enemy forces and of course the infamous "baddie" responsible.
With over 100+ unique skill dice and 4-7 classes to choose from, every battle is its own mini challenge to figure out.
Your adventure will consist of 8-12 battles before you reach your final destination and face off against one of a number of possible kingpins in order to win.
Along the way, you will be faced with storyline decisions that will quickly have you weighing risk/reward, odds, and logic – with dice woven into every aspect!
Your party will also be faced with other decisions: when to rest, when to explore, or even which fights to pursue!
The Encounter cards offer fun plot twists and some comic relief, all while setting the stage for your next battle.

Teaching people how to play is an ongoing challenge because it can be overwhelming for them to quickly understand their character and skills and not be overwhelmed. This is an attempt at Gearloc reference sheets that provide an at-a-glance understanding of what their different skills do as well as more detailed help regarding all the die faces that a new player might roll.

Too Many Bones – A Plain and Simple Guide
I’ve attempted to revise the rulebook so that it makes better english sense, and its easier to find things. I haven’t heavily condensed it as its such a big game to try and condense. I have included some forum clarifications.
