Watch “Too Many Bones - Solo Tutorial and Playthrough on a Windows PC,” a how-to-play guide for Too Many Bones from Larry Schneider on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Larry Schneider on YouTube:
This is a complete solo playthrough and tutorial of the game Too Many Bones by Chip Theory Games using a more recent version of the program I wrote for a Windows PC.
Note: At 1:05:25, I erroneously indicate that the Break skill is triggered. In fact, it is not triggered because the attack only reduced the Golem's active defense. The Break skill reads as follows: "Any Attack dice used to reduce this unit's HP (as opposed to active defense) must be exhausted (both melee and ranged attacks)." Sorry for the mistake!
I will be making this program freely available to anyone who would like to download it and play it on their computer. I expect to release the program in early August (2017).

About Too Many Bones, from BoardGameGeek:
Too Many Bones comes loaded for bear by breaking into a new genre: the dice-builder RPG. This game takes everything you think you know about dice-rolling and turns it on its head. Dripping with strategy, this fantasy-based RPG puts you in the skin of a new race and takes you on an adventure to the northern territories to root out and defeat growing enemy forces and of course the infamous "baddie" responsible.
Team up or go it alone in a 1-4 player Coop or Solo play campaign. With over 100+ unique skill dice and 4-7 classes to choose from, every battle is its own mini challenge to figure out. Your adventure will consist of 8-12 battles before you reach your final destination and face off against one of a number of possible kingpins in order to win. Along the way, you will be faced with storyline decisions that will quickly have you weighing risk/reward, odds, and logic - with dice woven into every aspect! Your party will also be faced with other decisions: when to rest, when to explore, or even which fights to pursue! The Encounter cards offer fun plot twists and some comic relief, all while setting the stage for your next battle.
