Bridge Troll

In Bridge Troll, you and your friends embody rather hideous trolls, each guarding your own bridge. The deal is this: each round, you'll be tossing boulders to bid for travelers who show up. And get this, the number of travelers changes depending on the weather, so you gotta keep an eye out! Among the folks passing by, there's all sorts: plump merchants, pilgrims, poor monks (who, let's be honest, make for a good meal), and if luck smiles upon you, even some royal personages.

When travelers arrive at your bridge, the idea is to collect tolls. But watch out! Knights, bandits, dragons, and even those vicious Billy Goats Gruff are prowling around. You'll have to use some of your boulders to chase these guys away, which means fewer boulders for bidding or for upgrading your bridge.

The thing is, you need the toll money to buy materials and make your bridge look spiffy. But working on the bridge makes you super hungry, so you'll have to devour some of the travelers. The secret to success is balancing tolls with food to make your bridge super appealing. If you eat too many or just focus on the money, your bridge won't be all that great. Ultimately, the player who best uses money, food, and boulders to build the most impressive troll bridge operation takes home the victory. Oh, and this is the first of two 'Troll' games by the designer, the second being Trollhalla. Curious, right?
