About the game
Too Many Bones: 40 Waves in Daelore is the ultimate expansion for the already popular Too Many Bones: Undertow. Released in 2023, it brings 40 brand‑new encounter cards and 16 villain chips to spice up your adventures across Daelore’s waves. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a single sequence of encounters, this expansion gives you the missing kick.

The core premise stays the same: each player controls a hero who pushes through waves of enemies, using dice to decide actions, attacks, and defenses. What sets this add‑on apart is the variety of encounters that pop up when you roll. Each card presents a unique situation— from treacherous traps to unexpected allies—while the villain chips introduce new challenges with distinct stats and abilities that demand different tactics. The result? More unpredictable battles and a replayability that never feels the same.

Because the expansion was built specifically for Undertow, it keeps the same aesthetic and fantasy tone of the base game, but adds even more engaging dice‑rolling mechanics. The components are top‑quality: durable PVC cards and sturdy plastic chips that stand up to the most intense sessions.

One thing to note is the language dependency. The cards come in English, so Portuguese‑speaking players need a translated spreadsheet or already‑translated cards. If that’s not an issue, the expansion is a real upgrade. Additionally, the extra cost can be a factor, but the added variety more than makes up for it.

In short, Too Many Bones: 40 Waves in Daelore is for those who love dice‑based combat with plenty of strategy, constant challenges, and a fantasy universe that expands with every turn. Grab your dice, pick your hero, and dive into the most intense waves of adventure yet!
