Tom Teaches Too Many Bones (Nom Rules & Gameplay)

[@cr1ses]

Thanks for this video and your great post production! I really like, that you corrected all your mistakes. That makes the video really trustworthy for me! 🎉

[@luffingsails7542]

Love this game. Great job presenting gameplay, Tom. Very much appreciate the time you took putting it up for us! Cheers.

[@TomTeachesGames]

Thanks a ton for watching and for taking the time to comment! That's such a nice thing to read and I really appreciate it..... So sorry for the insanely slow reply. You replied during a CRAZY week in my life...

[@jnmiller]

What an enjoyable tutorial - fantastic organization and clarity. Thank you so much!

[@TomTeachesGames]

Thanks Jay! I appreciate that a ton! Can’t wait for the expansion....

[@Zonk696]

Amazing Tom, thanks a lot for making these tutorial videos - in this form of gameplay is also great :) ps. Also: I appreciate the klingon subs - thanks for them as well !!!

[@TomTeachesGames]

You’re so welcome Zonk! Thanks for being so nice and awesome 😀 It is always such a nice boost

[@steftymo]

When you fail a skill check at 1:25 you don’t lose your training point. So when you rolled a bone for your defense you could have just increased your DEX.

[@TomTeachesGames]

Really?!? How did I miss that rule?!? That misunderstanding I’ve had has haunted me SO many times - especially since I’m such a crap roller.... I’m gonna have to dive back into the rule book and figure out how I misread that. Thanks for pointing it out!

[@steftymo]

I really enjoy your playthroughs. Yes, you don't have much luck in the dice department, a bit like me. Just started watching your next video now.

[@TomTeachesGames]

Thank you so much! Sorry I’m slow on the reply - the holidays sure had me busy! And seriously, I should not be allowed to roll any dice during cooperative games... last night my rolls KILLED us over and over during our game of TIME Stories (Lumen Fidei).

[@ericbrooks1562]

This is the next game on my "wish list".

[@TomTeachesGames]

It’s a good one! Similar weight to Gloomhaven..... both physically and mentally! Haha....

[@stevenmill9887]

Another new game for my collection and another TT guide to enjoy 😃

[@scotti1660]

Probably doesn't matter, but 1:36 the orc should have only gotten 3 attack dice because the buff to +1 Atk was for ranged only

[@TomTeachesGames]

Oh! That's a great catch! I appreciate you for letting me know :) I'm going to get that annotated right now.... Good eye!

[@nagaknowsgames2861]

@@TomTeachesGames FYI - just watched the video now and didn't see an annotation about the orc rolling an extra attack die since he is melee

[@teejay818]

Tom: I think that’s legal. Also Tom: It’s not.

[@TomTeachesGames]

😂😂😂 Sounds about right

[@gianlucamorando8339]

Great video. Thank you.

[@TomTeachesGames]

I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for taking the time to comment. You're great!

[@miguelpereira8074]

Just played for the first time. In the very first battle, Patches got knocked out in the first round before his turn ever came up, leading to eventual disaster for everyone. 10/10 would recommend

[@TomTeachesGames]

That is so awesome!! I’m so excited for my kickstarter version of Undertow to come in so I have an excuse to get this game back out.... it has been too too long....

[@Femaiden]

at 2:19:30 , you didn’t read the whole thing. on the upper option, you would have only had to fight 2x5 point baddies and then 1x5 and 1x1 because it said fight 2x5 points baddies, then do BQ: baddie points (but subtract 8 from the total) which would be 14-8=6 so you made it much harder on yourself by doing the lower option and fighting a 23 point fight

[@TomTeachesGames]

You are totally right! Sometimes, when I'm on camera, I inadvertently skip over stuff.... thank you for pointing that out! I am a pro at making things harder on myself then I need to..... But I appreciate you helping me out with that one.

[@slydog75]

So I'm gettign this game for Christmas and watching this in prep. I haven't read the rulebook yet. For the encounters that give you choices, are you supposed to read the possible results on the back before making a decision?

[@TomTeachesGames]

Yay!!! This game is very cool. I really want to hear how your first game(s) go! And yeah, in this game you also read the consequences... if you really wanted to try to keep it more thematic you could avoid that, but for strategy it’s best to know the possible consequences, and that’s how the rules tell you to play.

[@albertfromsd]

Newb question: why do the characters start with 4 training points? I thought you only get 2 from the first special encounter

[@TomTeachesGames]

Oh man, It has been YEARS since I've played this game..... so I am so sorry! I cannot quite remember why that happened..... fingers crossed someone in who is reading the comments can help out. I'm sorry!

[@albertfromsd]

@@TomTeachesGames Haha thanks for responding but I saw you can adjust difficulty by adding training points

[@TomTeachesGames]

Oh! Hahahah! I guess it’s that simple!

[@JoostN86]

@1:02:22 why didnt you throw your longblade at him instead of 1 defense die? You always get the longblade back

[@TomTeachesGames]

I probably should have. I was likely worried about being attacked and trying to put up some shields.... lots and lots of good choices to make in this game which is why I love this game so much!

[@rockylosco5596]

Just learned about this game last night literally and I really like it,where do I buy it at ,I heard u can only get it online?no shop sells this?im gonna look on Craig’s list and see what’s up with this,I also need some advice folks cause I’ve never ever been into or even played any of these kind of board games,I’ve always only played card games ccg and all ya know and online games,wow,or hearthstone or warhammer champs online card game etc. just recently months back got into a moba called realmwar (which is one of my favorite most played games online and I also play a builder game called drop assault Horus heresy lords of war of the which I used to not like those kind of games neither but have finally grown fond of these kind of games after all (which I used to not like those either but now I love em,especially the ones that have cards in em,this comment here is referring to realmwar with the cards in it ,it’s the moba folks)I love keyforge and used to play Star Wars ccg back in the later nineties as well, a little magic here and there ya know,is this a lcg (living card game?) or a card game board game?somebody help cause this is all new to me,the reason I never liked the board games was because there limited and they have an end and I’ve always liked games like world of Warcraft that are open world and have no ending and are unending u know so getting use to this will be new to me folks but I’m really interested and actually I’m wondering whether I should get into gloomhaven or this(or both),what do you folks think cause I really do want to know big time thanks guys?Gloomhaven is huge with atleast 1700 cards or so,wow!

[@TomTeachesGames]

You are correct that Too Many Bones can only be purchased through their website: chiptheorygames.com/ I’m not exactly sure what other questions you are asking... but I’m happy to help however you need! Do you have another specific question I can answer for you?

[@mjkuehl]

When Nugget died you started making so many misplays...

[@TomTeachesGames]

Let's chalk it up to trauma.... and tiredness... and inexperience behind the camera.... That was one of the first videos I made, and it was a dossey!
