The box art (work-in-progress)

The Brothers Chaps and James Ernest have created a prototype of a Trogdor board game, which is playable every day from 12 PM to 2 PM in Kickstarter Couchland (room 103) of PAX East. It will likely be playable in Georgia at some point in the future. It will be sold on Kickstarter, most likely in late summer. Based on promotional photos and unfinished box art, it may be called "TROGDOR!!", "Trogdor", or "Trogdor: Burninate the Countryside". The box art was designed by Chris Schweizer, and it says the game is for two to six players, from ages six to sixty (although the creator implies that this is mostly filler text). The game is said to be made by Boardelectrix.

On September 29, 2017, Strong Bad posted a cottage being 3D-printed on his Instagram account, the first indication of the board game. He later posted a CG model of Trogdor being rendered. After that, he posted small pictures of the game board. A "Slantwise" card was revealed on January 24, 2018, in The Deleteheads Download Vol. 1. The game was confirmed on March 19, 2018, by both the Index Page and the @StrongBadActual Twitter account, with an image of the entire board with a "TROGDOR!!" logo. More cards were revealed on @StrongBadActual the same day in a reply.

Instructions

The players control Trogdor, who burninates game tiles and thatched-roof cottages. The game might be similar to TROGDOR!, which also involves the player controlling Trogdor as he burninates cottages. The board game is made up of green square tiles with rounded edges. The tiles can be flipped over, but it is unknown what this does. The game tiles resemble locations in Peasantry, such as a pile of rocks, a berry bush, a tree stump, a cave resembling Jhonka's, a forest, fenced-off areas, Kerrek's footprints, a yellow tree, a lake, an orange tree, and mountains.

The tiles that Trogdor burninates may be indicated by cards. There are at least two different kinds of cards. One kind features a simple description, and another kind is the same, except slightly different-looking, with a number above the letters "AP" written on the left side. Some cards are "actions", but it is unknown what this means. Other cards can only be used during actions. There are peasants and two different kinds of knights on the board, but their purpose is unknown, aside from the fact that the peasants can be burninated. The items in the game are 3D-printed and painted. The cottage and its roof are printed as two seperate items, which are then stacked on top of each other. To burninate a cottage, the roof must be turned upside down to reveal a flame underneath. To burninate a peasant, a flame must be placed on top of them.

Hidden behind the "Consummate V's" card in the @StrongBadActual image, some others can be seen, such as:

• An unknown 6 AP card
• An "Extra A[obscured]" card with 7 AP and a picture of Trogdor making the "peace" sign with his hand
• A "Flip 'Em Up D[obscured]" card with a picture of the four tiles adjacent to Trogdor with shading, being flipped over, with the description "After all Trogdor's [obscured]tions, you may flip [obscured] 4 adjacent tiles, [obscured]ardless of their [obscured]nination status."
