Trolls are not big and stupid, as many would have you believe. Not long ago they lived among us and they used their cunning magic to look like us humans.
They lived with their cattle in the mountains. Their caves were beautiful and luxurious with a lot of silver, gold, gems, and a table full of delicious food. In Sweden, there is an expression for this “Rich as a troll”.
Trolls were not evil if you didn’t treat them badly, they could even be helpful to those who treated them well. But they often played tricks on humans. Their magic power (trollkraft) could distort the vision of humans so the troll looked like a human, an animal, a log, and a stone and even become invisible. But they also had some weaknesses. They couldn’t stand the sounds of church bells or steel, not to mention the sight of sun.
Trolls & Princesses is a “worker movement” game. You play as one of four troll clans and to get the mountains king’s favour, you try to impress him. The players get favour (in the form of victory points) when they do what trolls usually do: swap changelings, “hire” humans, tear down church bells, kidnap princesses, build their cave, and use troll magic. To succeed, the players must collect resources and move around their trolls to do different actions. The player with the most victory points at the end can crown himself the ultimate troll clan leader.

A solid mid-complexity modern euro. Loved the tight action planning, the variety of action and scoring options, the mild yet important player interactions.. Both the theming and cute components are adding to the experience. All in all, a great addition to my collection, looking forward to bringing it to the table more often!

工擺策略遊戲,每回合打卡片招攬巨魔,到指定區域,玩家擺放工人可強化行動,有幾種得分方式,可擴充玩家自己的圖版,可強化工擺格的能力,可增加挖資源的數量,應該說能塞的機制都塞了,怎麼講起來好像不是很好玩的樣子XD應該說工擺遊戲那麼多,想要讓人有記憶點必須更花力氣,就機制上看來似乎沒有,要說融合卡片管理,反而抽牌太運氣反而有點扣分,就換嬰兒跟抓公主回家的主題稍微有趣~
