About the game

What you do in a play session

Too Many Bones: Ghillie is the expansion that introduces the new character, Scoutmaster Ghillie, to the already popular dice game Too Many Bones. If you’re familiar with the frenetic rhythm of rolling dice, building decks, and managing cards, Ghillie’s arrival adds a strategic upgrade. It comes with 21 custom dice, an 11.5‑gram chip, a fold‑able dice holder, and a neoprene character mat. What truly sets the expansion apart is the array of tactics Ghillie brings: clever traps that snag the “Ebon,” summoning companions that wreak havoc on the toughest “Baddies,” and ranged attacks that offer flexibility in both solo and group play. The deck, bag, and pool building mechanic remains intact, but Ghillie pushes players to think about new card and dice combinations. The game experience stays cooperative, yet the strategy deepens as each action can be amplified with Ghillie’s dice. The expansion also adds a slightly longer playtime, as the new rules introduce extra setup and action steps. Despite this, the learning curve stays approachable because most rules are already present in the base game. The ideal audience is fans of dice games with adventure and fantasy themes who want more variety and tactical depth. If you enjoy experimenting with new card and dice combos and don’t mind spending a few extra minutes setting up your tactics, Ghillie is a sure bet. The expansion was funded on Kickstarter, ensuring high‑quality components and giving players the chance to support the developer community.
