Enhance your Too Many Bones experience by adding The Lab Rats! The Rats are our first ever multi-Gearloc...Gearloc! Slank, Gerbil, Flan, and Helix all bring unique stats to the table while utilizing a group pool of 16 Skill dice! Swapping the proper character in and out equipped with the proper equipment for the situation creates a brand new brain-bending approach to existing TMB strategies.

The things we can achieve with science! The Gearloc Council Internship Program (GCIP) is our first ever multi-Gearloc... Gearloc...! Comprised of four individual mini-mats, the GCIP brings strength in numbers. None of these individuals are particularly proficient in combat, but they bring their individual expertise and trove chest worth of stolen lab equipment into play.

Unlike other Gearlocs, they share a pool of equipment that can be unlocked with Training Points. Any of the four can use any of the equipment, but if one of them is KO,d, they and all the equipment they are carrying is lost for the duration of the adventure until you’re left with only one. Think carefully about who you want it to be and what equipment you may want to leave available.

Henry A. ★★★★★

The gear-lock system on the new brawlers adds a fresh layer of strategy, and the 1-4 player scaling means my group can jump in without adjusting rules. Setup felt a bit heavier than the base game, but the extra complexity pays off in every encounter.

Lucy ★★★★★

The solo mode included in this expansion really shines—tackling the new baddies feels fresh and challenging each time. Setup was quick once I got the hang of the new encounter cards.

George ★★★★☆

The new gearloc and baddies add a solid chunk of variety, and the 1-4 player range means I can finally solo a campaign on a weeknight. Slightly annoyed the retail box doesn’t include the extra plastic trays from the full version, but the components that are here feel sturdy. Took about two hours to
