Bad Bones

2019 · Fighting

Bad Bones

Players defend their tower and village against endless waves of skeletons, raising troops, building walls, laying traps and casting spells to slow or redirect the bony hordes. Each round players move a single hero to fight skeletons, place or remove traps on their personal board, advance skeletons toward structures, and spawn new undead at the board edges. The invasion is inevitable, so the objective is to outlast opponents—points determine the winner when others are wiped out. Plays 1–6 (expandable by combining sets), uses simultaneous turns on separate player boards for a compact playtime, and offers both basic competitive and optional cooperative variants.
