What is Trolls and Princesses

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.

Un juego con poca interacción con otros jugadores más allá de poder usar sus troles en algunas ocasiones. Está chulo el formato del tablero. Y los dibujos están muy bien. Un juego con muchos accesorios, meeples de diferentes colores y tamaños, losetas, cartas, diferentes recursos. Tienes muchas opciones para realizar en tu turno. Difícil de llevar un conteo aproximado de cuántos puntos tienes tú o tus adversarios y hasta el final no se sabe quién ganará.

I must say that I enjoy this game very much. Its a must have If you like worker placement/worker movement, and some area control, lets not forget the tiles too. Love it nice little brain puzzle while you're trying to make things work in your head and create more efficient way to play with bigger combos. BGG shouldn't let users who don't own the game review it so low without playing the game first, just like a previous reviewer said. A jerk gave it a 2 just because. He has never play the game. Shame on them. Happy Gaming!
