MINIATURE GAMES

Celebrating 50 Years of Glorantha

Trollball

Designer: Daniel McCluskey
Host: Foggy


The Game played in Wonderhome! Traditional blood sport of the Uz – the Darkness people of Glorantha

In Trollball, two teams of vicious trolls fight to deliver the living portion of a trollkin 'ball' into their opponent’s goal under the occasionally watchful eye of a Giant referee. The players are armed and dangerous, the crowd hungry for violence, and the ball is terrified. NO MAGIC ALLOWED*

Bloody and unpredictable, success at Trollball requires skill, luck, and just a smidge of well-timed cheating. Failure means disgrace, crippling injury, or even Death. But never fear! The Beautiful Priestess will gladly restore deceased players to life once the match is complete.

Trollball is a fast-paced, easy-to-learn miniatures skirmish game for two players. Play time under one hour.

* Unless you think the ref might not be paying attention just then.
