Description Edit | History

(not to be confused with Knizia's Beowulf: The Legend)

Night after night, the murderous troll-monster Grendel stalks the Kingdom of Heorot. Every morning when dawn breaks, the Scyldings gather to find out whom the terrible beast has borne away in the night. The call for a hero goes out ...

...and the mighty Beowulf answers.

Beowulf: The Movie Board Game tells the tale of the legendary hero Beowulf’s valor and temptation as he faces the enemies of the Kingdom of Heorot. In each of three acts, players guide Beowulf and his loyal Thanes into battle against the monster Grendel, Grendel’s treacherous mother, and the savage golden dragon who threatens to destroy everything Beowulf holds dear.

Based on the movie directed by Robert Zemeckis from a screenplay by Neil Gaiman & Roger Avary.
Gameplay based on Reiner Knizia’s Kingdoms board game, but including all-new special powers and board shapes.
Incorporates fantastic computer-generated film imagery, plus sculpted plastic figures.

This is a reworking of the game:
