## Description
Too Many Bones: Polaris introduces a new gearloc that expands the base game experience with components that increase complexity and fun. This expansion, released through the TMB: Unbreakable campaign on Gamefound, includes a gearloc chip, 21 dice, a reference sheet, and a gearloc mat, all designed to fit seamlessly into the existing rules. Players familiar with the Too Many Bones universe will notice that the gearloc offers new cooperative challenges, allowing each team to test different strategies by rolling dice and managing resources. The inclusion of 21 dice increases the variety of possible outcomes, creating more opportunities for tactical decisions and tense moments. The reference sheet makes quick rule lookup easy and helps keep game pace, while the gearloc mat serves as a visual space to organize dice and action tokens. It’s important to note that the gearloc has an extensive language dependency: to allow all players to enjoy the content, nearly all material will need to be translated, which can require extra effort in non‑English speaking communities. Despite this, the expansion keeps the dice‑rolling mechanic that fans love from the original title, and the high‑quality components ensure durability and a great gaming experience. If you enjoy cooperative adventures with a good dose of strategy and are willing to invest in translation, Polaris is an addition that will enrich your Too Many Bones repertoire.
