The Gearloc Council Internship Program (GCIP) consists of four mini - mats. These interns aren't great in combat but bring their expertise and stolen lab equipment. Unlike other Gearlocs, they share equipment unlocked with Training Points. If an intern is KO'd, they and their equipment are lost until only one remains. Choose wisely!

How to use: First, make sure you have the core Too Many Bones game. Open the premium add - on box of Lab Rats. Take out all the components like the character mats, dice, and chips. Set up the game according to the rules in the Gearloc reference sheet. Each player can choose a character and start using the shared equipment pool. When playing, swap characters with the right equipment to create new strategies.
Things to note: Remember that if a character is KO'd, they and the equipment they're carrying are lost until only one character remains. So, think carefully before choosing which character to use and what equipment to leave available.
Maintenance advice: Keep the dice in the dice storage tray to prevent them from getting lost or damaged. Store the neoprene character mats flat to avoid creasing. If the mats get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a damp cloth.
