Why are the rule books so big?
On first impression, TFoB looks intimidating due to the size of the rule book. The rule book is big because TFoB is a complete game. We have included rules for just about everything: dust, bicycles, ramming, snow, events, and so on. But, there are no rules within rules. You don’t have to read the entire book to play the game. The basic play rules are only 6 pages long. After that you are adding rules that you only need for a particular scenario. Also included with the rules are scenarios, charts, extra items like equipment lists, background information, TO&E’s, and more. Yo get a lot of game for your money. Finally, the rule book is printed on high quality paper which is thicker than normal book paper.
