Trollland

Allusions on a club

Trollland is - not really surpringly – the homeland of the trolls and of course so beautiful that other races want to settle there. And that – again not surprisingly – creates a lot of problems. What troll wants to be forced by some foreign newcomers to eat cooked meat and to smell good? Players are chiefs of troll clans and want to chase off as many immigrants as possible to become head of the homeland security.

So - at first we place bonus cards, cart cards and a runway with 5 exiles without a troll. Then we receive 5 cards. We look at our cards, choose two of them and lay them down. Then in turn all species are called for and turned up, if you have them in your two cards: First all trolls, their special abilities are enacted in the sequence of card numbers. Then in turn Miehtzen, Menner, Älfen, Zwärgä and Gobs are called, turned up and sorted into the carts in increasing order. Carts carry 1-3 cages for 1-4 exiles. Each cage can only hold persons of one species and the cages on a cart must be filled with different species. Cards that you must keep because you cannot place them following these rules are placed into a refugee camp and score minus 2 at the end. A full cart leaves the country. If you placed the last card there you receive the cards as a reward. When all cards have been used the player with the highest score from bonus cards, suitcases, pets and medals as well as caught trolls wins the game.

Seems to be a bit of an intellectual procedure for trolls, you have to do a bit of thinking to get some points, but it is fun and I can always place my hopes on the troll king ..or better not?
