Get ready for a race against time! Riffle, a highly anticipated and super-secret Gearloc, has finally appeared, but it's only available for a very limited period. This character is the reward for those who have solved the "Automaton of Shale" puzzle, a challenge that took Chip Theory Games years to develop. This special character wields a robust set of 10 skill dice and a 52-card deck to unleash devastating attacks across the entire battlefield, making each game a unique tactical experience. Riffle's appearance is rare and fleeting, requiring players to stay alert for promotions and not miss the chance to add him to their collection. The exclusive nature and short availability window create a palpable urgency to acquire this coveted character. His dice and card combat mechanics promise to bring new layers of strategy and challenges to Too Many Bones fans, especially those who enjoy characters with high damage potential and game impact. It's a piece that will surely shake up games and bring new possibilities to adventurers out there.
