It’s time to save Daelore!

What are you waiting for? Every Gearloc with a penchant for adventure and a knack for managing mischief is leaving Obendar. The Gearloc Council has decreed that the Tyrants of The Ebon must be dealt with. Hoist your shield high, swing your axe, stash your stems, and build your boom counters. Dark days lie ahead—darker than anything you faced living in the Deepwood—but the right combination of plucky courage and grim determination will see you through to the other side. And a whole lotta bones. Don’t forget those!

Still on the picket fence? Your companions will surely convince you otherwise. Who you bring with you into the wild is the key to success. In the lawless land beyond the city walls, you’ll need skilled Gearlocs to take the initiative and win the day. Troves of loot await you if you’re successful. And the Baddies are queuing up to see who is the Gearloc with the requisite mettle to delve into Daelore with dice in hand. Embark on the journey of a lifetime!

Welcome to Too Many Bones, the widely-acclaimed dice-builder RPG for 1-4 players.

Assemble your party of Gearlocs and journey to face the ferocious tyrants of Ebonheart. New encounters will test you each day, with many playing out on the Battle Mat–a 4x4 grid where Gearlocs and Baddies will move, attack, and defend in tight quarters until one side emerges victorious. Encounters provide opportunities to gain Loot, earn Training Points, and test your newly acquired Skills. When you’ve earned enough Progress Points, you can challenge the Tyrant and see if your Gearlocs are equipped to fight this final threat.

Throughout the adventure, players will decide how best to outfit their Gearloc. Buffing stats, training new skills, advancing new professions, and lockpicking precious Trove Loot. And don’t forget to learn from past mistakes. Every miss is an opportunity to add bones to your backup plan, enabling powerful abilities to turn the tide of battle in the Gearlocs’ favor.

Benjamin ★★★★★

Soloed my first Tyrant last night and the dice-building mechanic really shines once your Gearloc's stats start clicking together. The component quality is absurd for the price, especially the neoprene character mats. Fair warning: this box is heavy and the rulebook takes a couple read-throughs.

Thomas ★★★★★

The dice-building system is ridiculously satisfying—every turn you're deciding which skill dice to add, and by the end your Gearloc feels completely custom. Played solo against a Tyrant last night and lost by one roll, immediately reset for another run. The box is heavy and the component quality sho

Penelope N. ★★★★☆

The dice-building mechanics are genuinely clever, and leveling up your Gearloc between encounters keeps every session feeling different. My only gripe is the rulebook — it took me nearly an hour to figure out how Tyrant encounters actually flow.
