About this game

Recruit trolls to excavate the ruins of a great hall buried inside a mountain. Trolls cascade: when you recruit one, every troll above it in the pyramid slides down, potentially triggering chain reactions of abilities. Use recruited trolls to dig tunnels, cast spells, and rebuild the great hall's workshops and statues. The cascading recruitment creates a unique drafting puzzle where your choice affects everyone's future options. A midweight euro with a distinctive mechanism and a fun troll-digging theme.
