## Description
Forget everything you've been told about trolls being just big, stupid brutes. In Trolls and Princesses, you'll discover that these creatures are actually masters of deception and luxury. Imagine caves overflowing with gold, silver, and feasts fit for royalty, all hidden away in the Swedish mountains. The key here is 'trollkraft', the magic that allows them to transform into anything—from a tree log to a human—to trick the unsuspecting.

In this game, you lead one of four troll clans with a clear goal: impress the Mountain King to earn his favor. To do that, you'll need to embrace the classic troll lifestyle. Want to score points? Start kidnapping princesses, tearing down church bells, swapping babies for changelings, and 'hiring' humans to do your dirty work.

The core gameplay revolves around moving your trolls across the map. You'll need to manage your action points precisely, collecting resources and placing your workers to execute the most profitable tasks. It's a strategic experience where hand management and tile placement make all the difference. The player who best balances magic, cave construction, and the most efficient pranks will be crowned the supreme leader of the clans.

If you enjoy Euro-style games with an eccentric theme and a touch of dark humor, this title is a perfect fit. Get ready to build your luxurious cave and prove that being a troll is actually the most profitable job in the world!
