About the game

What you do in a play session

In Groo: The Game, you and your friends compete to build the most impressive town, but watch out — the world's clumsiest barbarian might show up at any moment to ruin everything! With dice rolling and card mechanics, you'll gather resources, construct buildings, and even attack rivals, all while trying to keep Groo from wrecking your progress. The cards feature artwork by the legendary Sergio Aragonés, bringing all the humor and chaos of the comics to the table. The game is fast, fun, and perfect for groups of 2 to 6 players, with matches lasting about an hour. It includes both the base game and the expansion, adding even more fun and unpredictability. Who will be the first to build a town fit for a king... or at least survive Groo's antics?
