About the game
What you do in a play session
Too Many Bones: Gasket brings a new character to the cooperative dice universe—a tank‑like Hydromech that relies on water flow to activate his skills. Water isn’t just a resource; it’s the very lifeblood of his power. At the start, he boasts high defense but minimal attack and health, creating an intriguing trade‑off that forces players to strategize around positioning.
The Gasket can manipulate positions, boost defense or attack, and even disrupt enemy actions. His backup plan is a set of tricks that allow dealing damage, healing, or executing a devastating crowd‑control move. What sets him apart is the ability to lock commands into the backup plan and chain them; once your Bones reach the placed skill die, powerful alternate effects trigger. This chaining mechanic adds a layer of depth that only Gasket can provide.
The components are top‑notch: 21 custom dice, an 11.5‑gram chip, a lockable dice holder, and a neoprene playmat. All of it blends beautiful design with function, making Gasket a worthwhile addition for both soloists and team players.
The expansion keeps the adventure and fantasy vibe of the base game while adding layers of deck, bag, and pool building, as well as reinforcing hand‑management and dice‑rolling mechanics. If you love cooperative games that demand planning and a dash of strategy, Gasket is the perfect ally to elevate your team to new heights.
