So, I've had the idea in my head for ages. Birthed from the hours I've spent playing Lego with Max. I loved the idea of building things. Why not incorporate it in a game. This idea coincided with a visit to the Board Game Geek store. Whilst looking for extra game parts, I came across the 'Rattlebones' prototype dice.
I think the dice are designed to be used in a semi-permanent manner, a quick way to knock up some dice to test a game. But my thought was why can't the dice be part of the building mechanism. As you build up your player, it's reflected in the dice.
I needed to see it in action so I brought a copy of Rattlebones to see how the parts worked.
