Description Edit | History

In Bridge Troll, you and your friends are hideous trolls who each guard a troll bridge. Each turn, you throw boulders to bid for travelers, who vary in number depending on the weather for that day. Travelers include fat merchants, pilgrims, poor monks (who make good eating), and if you are lucky, royal personages. As travelers come to your bridge, you use them to collect tolls. But watch out! Knights, bandits, dragons, and vicious Billy Goats Gruff prowl the countryside. You'll have to use some of your boulders to chase them away (which means you’ll have fewer left to use on your bridge!).

Although you need to collect tolls from travelers so you can buy building supplies, working on your bridge makes you hungry, so you will have to eat some of your travelers instead. It is important to balance tolls with food in order to make your bridge very appealing to travelers. If you eat too many travelers or just collect money, you won't be able to fix up your bridge. The player who uses toll-money, food, and boulders to build the most impressive troll bridge operation wins the game.

2 Card Organizers
These are kinda like tuck-boxes, but just have open tops. I've gone with a very utilitarian (no color, no art) design; all three fit on a single 8.5×11 sheet of card stock. But you could use a different color of paper for each box.

6 Bridge Troll FAQ, updated 2009/07/16
This is a minor update to Alf Seegert's FAQ. The updates are straight from the man himself... I contacted Alf for permission to post a "single sheet" version, and he gave me a couple updates to include. This version is formatted to fit on one side of a single 8.5×11 sheet.
