About

From the Brother's Chaps and James Ernest comes Trogdor!! The Board Game. For centuries, the legendary wingaling dragon Trogdor the Burninator has terrorized the peasant kingdom of Peasantry with his scorching flames and greased-up beefy arm. Now, he has descended from the mountains once again and will not stop until he burninates the entire countryside and all those unfortunate enough to get in his way!

You and up to 5 friends -or maybe people you just paid to come over- take on the roles of a cult of hooded creepos calling themselves the Keepers of Trogdor who have devoted their lives to aiding the mighty dragon in his quest for total and complete burnination.

Just a few of the 9 Keepers of Trogdor available in the game. More like Creepos of Trogdor if you ask me.

Take turns guiding Trogdor on his destructive lost weekend around Peasantry. Help him avoid pesky knights and archers, devour peasants, burninate the countryside, and, of course, the thatched roof COTTAGES!!

A flaming peasant flees her flaming cottage. Or maybe she's running back in to save her rare vinyl.

Uh oh. We got a Trog-spinner.

How I play it?

Trogdor!! is a co-op puzzle, area control game where 2-6 players work together to help a beefy-armed dragon completely decimate a kingdom using unique powers and items all while avoiding knights and archers bent on stopping you.

Play time is 30-45 minutes with variable levels of difficulty the players can set. The age is 14+.

How to burninate cottages: Surround, scorch the ground, flip that thatched-up mound. Stop-mo by Graw Mad.

Here's Strong Sad's hands with an episode of his tabletop review series 'Six-Sadded, Die' to play through a couple turns for you:

See main article: Six-Sadded, Die

Stack em to the heavens! Stack em to the heavens! You can play an unofficial game where you make up the rules yourself called Stack Em To The Heavens!!

Add-ons

Art and assets NOT final. But in the ballpark. The meeply ballpark.

We're going to make a whole set of meeples of the 12 main Homestar Runner characters. Use them in this board game, or drop em into whatever other tabletop experience you want! You can also add these in BackerKit for an additional cost.

Oh, hey guess what? All art and images not final.

You allowed us to be able to make some screen-printed T-Shirt add-ons! There will be a Trogdor box art design and a 'Six-Sadded, Die.' design. You can add them in BackerKit during the survey period for an additional cost.

FAQs

Is this campaign international shipping friendly?

Yes, we are setting up a system where WE would get charged rather than you for any customs charges should they occur.

Do you have a retail tier?

At the moment, we don't, but if there is enough demand, we will consider maybe adding one!
