What is Trolls and the Shoemaker
Everybody knows the story... the poor Shoemaker wakes up to find that elves had filled his shop with beautifully crafted footwear and his family is saved from poverty!
However, did you hear about the time the elves went on strike and TROLLS were sent in their place?! It was a disaster and no wonder that the tale was erased from history.
Experience being a team of trolls with a terrible task. Work together in the dead of night to assemble shoes and boots before sunrise. You'll need to plan carefully and communicate in silence to complete the job and avoid being captured by the Shoemaker (who wouldn't want a cobbling troll?!)
Players cooperatively handle cards with limited communication and literal hand management - as soon as a group of cards are placed on the table, it's a shoe! Just hope that it's got all the correct components...
