Side camera is really useful for seeing the height of the chip stacks on the battle mat, I like it.
It’s 2 years after you made these and I’m just getting into TMB with my wife. Thank you for such a great playlist of playthroughs for me to watch and learn, Paul!
Leaving a comment for the algorithm. Enjoying watching these and living vicariously through the videos until I decide I have enough time/energy/money to buy and learn the game!
I love playing as Tantrum and getting Way of the Wild and Like a Kobold pretty early to get Hardy and Disable. Those are so useful throughout an adventure
These videos are great…. Lots of fun to watch
Realy like this game! Thanks for the playthoughs. Have this on my wishlist
great gameplay that helped me sort out my thoughts on tantrum abilities
Very nice play through. Enjoyed it!
Awesome playthrough! Thanks!
Thanks for these videos! Learning lots from them
Great play through! I love tantrum
Love these play throughs
FYI, in that first encounter final round you should have ticked Rage up to 1.4 when attacking which could be used for 2 Bones. That combined with the 2 Bones you had in the Backup Plan meant you could have activated Axe Collector Backup Plan before the encounter ended to get 3 Axes. Then you could have saved the Fortunate Discovery for later or used it for a different consumable (I like saving it for more axes later when needed).
In general, turns like the last one in the first encounter when winning was guaranteed are great for trying for certain Backup Plans/Innate+1 or other effects. Always play them out unless there's no chance for something good.
Yep, sometimes it’s worth it to slow play the early battles to get a couple extra bonuses, like getting more components with Boomer or more slingstones with Nugget.
Just ordered my copy. Thanks Paul for the excellent streams! Can’t wait to play, your enthusiasm for this game is infectious
I very much appreciate your TMB videos. After reading the rule book I still felt lost. These have been a tremendous help. Thank you!
Watching through this series convinced me to buy the game. I'm loving it! Plus, it's great to watch at the gym since it keeps my mind busy and excited to see how things play out. Thanks as always!
Hope you enjoy it!
To say the end was tense is the understatement of the decade. Well played Paul! 👏👏👏
Your videos are captivating and informative. I learn a lot through them and have a good time doing so. Thanks 👍
Love your TMB playthroughs! Got me inspired to go and buy the complete set!
Very much enjoying this series of videos. Cheers Paul!
Great game! So glad you are loving it as much as we do! So puzzly, so addicting, so much strategy. And always a challenge! Thanks for playing and look forward to next month!
Fantastic play through! It’s amazing the tactical puzzles that TMB generates. As you said, the more you play the game the richer it gets. It’s my #1 game.
Second one of these I've watched. Really enjoying them - thanks again!
Just got TMB and loving it. Watched many many playthroughs. Thanks Paul
Congrats on the professional relationship with CTG! So awesome!!
Well, they were getting about 20 messages a week asking them to get me involved in their rulebooks :)
Great stream! Really enjoyed the playthrough, thank you for sharing. Take care!
Just played for the first time over the course of pretty much a whole day. My brother and I worked together to control tantrum vs gendricks. Glad to see you've played this exact matchup. Now I can see all the ways we played incorrectly. :D
Thank you Paul! I was struggling with how to play Tantrum!
That's was quite some fun to watch and educational as well, rule wise that is. I like your approach of streaming: just play your own game and get the chat only involved for rules issues. No discussions on strategy or tactics, you simply nailed Gendricks by yourself, well done! Upto the next episode...
Great playthrough! Entertaining from start to finish. Can't wait to get this to the table again! :D Looking forward to the moment when the game just clicks for me. I hear it takes a while, but once you get there it's worth it!
Gg! Loved it. Thanks for the entertainment, Paul!
I’m prob wrong but dont believe the wolf killed you as you did not scout or swap treasure so therefore should have been on 6hp as you should have healed b4 encounter. No doubt you spot this later when you realise on a later day that you only have 5hp for some unknown reason. You then would have run away keeping pup between you and mum using axes on mum, hoping for shields on def die, and applying body count as soon as you were allowed to then run away further to keep more than 2 move from mum once bleed kicked in to hopefully outlast her and/or pup. You prob would have survived.
Also you did not take any scout or other action on at least next 2 days.
Great vid as always Paul.
Good stuff!
Tantrum is one of my favorite gearlocks. Wonderful playthrough to watch. I have the Ultimate Collection backing for Unbreakable coming my way "soon". Can't wait to play through all that content!
Just played against Gendricks last night... We got wrecked. We played Tantrum and Boomer, but it was the other baddies that did us in. Favorite Tyrant so far though.
Really great playthrough. I just got recruited to play Tantrum at my friend's place, we had one adventure so far. BTW, you made an error at 1:41:10 - forgot to increase your rage when you attacked. would not have been as good a result! Tantrum is tricky 'cause you need to increase rage die just before rolling attack dice.
Well done
Great play, please start again a TMB LP series!
You probably did off camera but defo worthwhile reading the boss card and it’s fight abilities to assist in identifying what skills/abilities would likely assist the most in the last battle.
Cant wait to try Tantrum in my game, he seems like alot of fun and puzzle-y enough to hurt my brain.
This is my first time seeing Too Many Bones. Seems really fun and my wallet is about to start wailing! :)
Watching your playthrough now that I have played a couple of games myself makes much more sense 😅
Besides I played Tantrum both times and it’s really refreshing seeing how many different paths he could go skills-wise.
I’m going to try a Skirmisher-heavy build with way of the wild, cripple, strengthen and Innervate. The jump is so good: it lets you apply some damage to a target, jump next to another baddie and use the rest of your rolled atk dice on it 🤯
Found these playthroughs because I had an interest in this game but wasn't sure about the cost. Man did you sell it. Once the cash is available this is my next buy for sure.
One of my favorite games EVER also happens to be a game I almost gave up on because of the terrible rule book(s). Nice to see CTG has enlisted your services Paul.
Well done, great game. I think you messed up the timing of rage a few times but I don't think it materially mattered. That thick skin protection really helped you: not only did it change your strategy, but it allowed you to eliminate a couple of baddies in one shot. I think you were quite lucky with your rolls and the healing loot, but that's part of the game. You did make some nice tactical decisions in some of the games that really made a difference! Pat yourself on the back.
Hooray for the second Wednesday of the month.
Thanks for keeping this going Paul.
Can you do a Duster vs Duster video in the future?
is that even allowed? :)
@@GamingRulesVideos I mean it might open a time rift or something but it should make for a good show either way. Duster is a great character to play too. Top 3 behind Gasket and Dart for me.
Thanks for your playthroughs George.
Just one issue: if at the end of your turn your rage is at 2.0 or 3.0 (breakdown), then you go back to 1.0
Tough solo game, but loving it
Age of Tyranny with friends next please.
Once COVID is finally over that is!
Could you not move adjacent to the orb to not take damage from it when rolling bones? :-) iirc it only damage gearlocks that is not adjacent
Final comment. In the Tyrant encounter you would likely have been better off in the last few rounds just killing the orb thing (to avoid Bones damage) and trying to defend as much as possible. By leaving the defense on Gendricks he's unlikely to roll bones to use Limit. Certainly if you don't roll enough damage to actually remove a health chip you should not use the attack dice (they're optional) as you're just increasing the chance for Limit with no benefit. You had enough healing to outlast him but you got really lucky by not rolling a Gendricks bone for the first 3 rounds.
Taking Cripple would have made everything much easier as you can reduce how many dice the Tyrant rolls which is always important but especially in a battle with Gendricks as it will almost always be a fatigue round slog when solo.
In round 2, I think you forgot to activate the Kobold (ini of 6) before your turn. He only rolls one die so probably wouldn't have had any real effect.
Thanks for the playthrough! My son loves watching them with me. He was upset that bedtime interrupted it but I've promised to watch the rest with him tomorrow.
In the battle around 1:19:00: with no skill dice available for the first round, wouldn't this also apply to the baddies? If so, then raiding and rage wouldn't take effect either?
40 Days in Daelore has more encounters for both group and solo if you get tired of the repetition from the base game.
Shouldn’t the damage from bones because of the orb use up your shields instead of taking hp off? I don’t think it’s true damage. I could be wrong, though.
oh gosh. This was so long ago, I can't remember :)
@@GamingRulesVideos lol no problem. Thanks for responding. You have helped me learn many games.
I've asked my Patreon supporters....
Gendrick’s Orb damage isn’t True Damage,
at 2:38:36 you roll shields and bones at the same time, so don’t know if you could use shield then,
Again at 2:42 you place the shields first then take damage from the Orb so they should have come off your shields first.
Specifically on Gendricks orb it is applied during #6 Roll Phase so you apply the damage at any point and allowing to put shields up first if needed. Apparently an official ruling from Josh Carlson according to BGG but this is how I play it also

@@GamingRulesVideos wow…I did not expect you to go to all that trouble to find me an answer. Thank you so much!
@@nealwitt It's hard for me not too. A number of my Patreon supporters are more knowledgeable about the game than me, so I posted on the Patreon Slack channel I have, and two people responded. :)
