Lead a band of trolls with In The Hall Of The Mountain King!

Play as trolls rebuilding your abandoned kingdom under the mountain in In the Hall of the Mountain King. With muscle and magic, you'll unearth riches, dig out collapsed tunnels, and carve out great halls as you raise the toppled statues of your ancestors to their places of honour at the heart of the mountain. Gameplay is driven by the innovative cascading production system. Timing and tactics are key as you work to restore your home to its former glory and win the crown! Working on the same game board with the other players (but beginning at your own entrance), you'll dig a competing network of tunnels by spending increasingly valuable materials to lay polyomino tiles onto the map. You want to extend your tunnels to connect with buried gold and materials, with workshop locations that can transform resources, and especially with toppled statues. Statues are key to scoring, and you'll spend carts to move them through the tunnels to prime scoring locations near the heart of the mountain. The game supports play for 2 to 5 people and takes around an hour and a half to play.

Each copy of the game is packed with the following game pieces:

  • 1 Double-sided Game board
  • 52 Tunnel tiles
  • 5 Player Mats
  • 6 Great Hall tiles
  • 17 Spell cards
  • 5 Gate tiles
