In Troll & Dragon, players take on the role of thieves trying to gather as many gems as possible in quick 20-minute rounds. You can safely collect diamonds in the Troll's cave or risk entering the Dragon's treasure room. There, you roll golden dice to collect nuggets while others roll dragon dice to wake the dragon and make you lose your loot. The game creates a lively push-your-luck experience with player interaction and exciting risk management.
Who Is This Game For?
Troll & Dragon is aimed at families with children aged 7 and up. It is a children's game with simple rules and a short playtime, requiring no prior experience. Ideal for those who enjoy light, fast-paced dice games with a luck element.
How It Works
The game uses Dice Rolling and Push Your Luck mechanics. On your turn, you roll dice as many times as you want as long as you score points. Rolling keys and doors lets you move from the Troll's cave to the Dragon's room, where you roll golden dice to collect nuggets. Meanwhile, opponents roll dragon dice trying to roll two dragon faces; if they succeed, you lose all your collected treasures. You must decide when to stop and secure your gains.
