some cases simply filled with packaging foam and manifesting in this form only to accommodate the unbendable pvc rules glossary and the tiny set of poker chips and a pack of cards it's not just that everything is made out of mountains of plastic it's the hubris and callousness of it all here we have the grandiose vision the ultimate plan delivered to you in a mound i get it it's a marketing gimmick and the volume is the post zombie side selling point so here is my verdict i really like too many bones in terms of play but i don't like it as a product and not just because of bad rule books or inconsistent post launch youtube tutorials i wish more effort went into delivering us the game rather than delivering us impervious game coffins i like when too many bones gets ambitious one upcoming expansion for example is a pop-up book that doubles as an adventure with tucked away body chips or new loot cards emerging from fold-out envelopes that is what i want the crowdfunding campaign that is running now allegedly the final one to finish the series also looks promising with new gear logs and a whole new standalone version of too many bones putting a twist just like undertow did with lava terrain and more positional puzzles fantastic but did it really have to be another standalone game with two not enough do i really need health chips i will use attack defense and effect dice i won't use i already have a spare set that came in undertow will you really ship it in six separate boxes for fans who buy everything for them to only throw it away so they can put it in another box that was also sent to them from china to distribution centers and then from distribution centers to their homes i don't want to end on the negative because i do think that too many bones is one of the most interesting and ambitious board games out there and one thing i'd like to ask you as the audience is to definitely put pressure on your favorite publishing houses to be more environmentally conscious in terms of how they ship and package games but don't do it right now to chip theory games they're probably watching this video they know they know you know they know you care it's too late to change anything on their current campaign don't make their life difficult right now instead be conscious of your purchasing decisions you don't need everything made for this game just get undertow that's a pretty good start and probably a pretty good end or get the new standalone version from the current campaign if you feel like taking a punt but don't do this it's just wasteful this video is sponsored by skillshare the online learning community with thousands of inspiring classes skillshare has a tutorial on almost any subject imaginable from learning how to make a video to teaching yourself everything you need to know how to design a board game every time i do this sponsor spot and skillshare have been sponsoring us for a whole year now i need to find a new class to recommend and i'm never short of subjects because there are just so many cool things to learn but sometimes you have to get serious i'm not the sort of person that gets a kick out of lifestyle advice but if the trove chest proves anything is that i need to get better at managing my finances in modern money habits five steps to build the life you want by justin bridges i found actionable
