Where it came from
Too Many Bones was developed by Chip Theory Games and released in 2017, emerging from a desire to blend the depth of a complex tabletop role-playing game with the tactile satisfaction of high-quality components. Designed by Josh and Adam Carlson, the game moved away from traditional card-based mechanics, instead utilizing heavy, custom-molded dice as the primary engine for character progression and combat. This design choice was intended to create a durable, highly replayable experience that emphasizes strategic depth and physical engagement.
Upon its release, the game garnered significant attention for its distinct production values, most notably the use of waterproof, tear-resistant PVC mats in place of traditional cardboard punchboards. The art direction, led by Anthony LeTourneau, established a whimsical yet gritty aesthetic that distinguishes the title within the tactical skirmish genre. It was well-received by hobbyist communities for its innovative combat system and cooperative design, eventually spawning a large ecosystem of expansions and standalone installments.
