Rattlebones

"Welcome girls and boys. My name is Rattlebones and you have been cordially invited to spend the day at my Fabulous Festival of Dice! Play games! Win prizes! Ride the train! I'll be wandering about the park and if you're the first one to find me you win! Won't that be delightful?"
Rattlebones is a game about transforming dice. You start with standard six-sided dice and throughout the course of the game you can remove sides and replace them with other sides that let you do all sorts of wonderful things. Every time you score points you get closer to finding Rattlebones and er winning the game. Yes winning! It's an experience to six-sided-die for!

Game Summary
Setup
- Place the Rattlebones meeple at 55 60 or 65 VP space (for 2-4 players). Players each get 3 d6 (black white gray) -- basic d6 but the '1' is replaced by Rattlebones.
- Place random tiles on the empty spaces on the board.
Your Turn
Roll a die. May spend 1-2 gold to roll an extra 1-2 dice. Then use each die one at a time:
- if Rattlebones shows move Rattlebones back one space; game ends immediately if it hits a player score marker and most points wins.
- if pips or Rattlebones showing move one of your pawns clockwise that many spaces (RB=1) and use the space you land on. Typically you may add a die face matching that space to the die you used (replace any face except Rattlebones).
- otherwise take whatever action the face allows (e.g. earn a stock marker or star token which you may later turn in for VP; earn VP; steal stuff from other people; etc.).
