Cave Troll surfaces to defend lair

Cave Troll surfaces to defend lair

No, Peter Jackson hasn't resurrected the beast from the first Lord of the Rings movie. I'm talking about Cave Troll, the latest board game design from Tom Jolly, by way of Fantasy Flight Games. For the curious types out there, FFG has posted the Cave Troll rules, but the gist of it is this: each player controls a party of adventurers as they search the cave troll's lair for loot and magical goodies. As players find these fabulous prizes, they score points. All the while, players must jockey for position against each other and avoid the cave troll and other nasty beasts. Though the concept is similar, the game mechanic is far different than Jolly's excellent Drakon, making this a game I'm looking forward to test driving.
