This article is about the board game. For other uses, see Trogdor (disambiguation).

Trogdor!! The Board Game (shortened to Trogdor!!) is a board game featuring Trogdor rampaging across Peasantry. Described as a "board game adaptation of the video game adaptation of the song from the cartoon", Trogdor!! is a cooperative puzzle area control game in which the players work together to burninate the countryside, peasants, and thatched-roof cottages. Each player assumes the role of a Keeper of Trogdor, making use of unique powers and items to guide Trogdor around the board to accomplish this goal while avoiding knights and archers. The game is for one to six players, and play time is estimated at 30 minutes. The recommended age is 14+, and difficulty can vary based on player-chosen level layouts.

The game is made by the Brothers Chaps (Boardelectrix) and James Ernest (Cheapass Games). The box art, game tiles, character cards, and item cards feature art by Chris Schweizer. The rulebook was written with Loneshark Games. The plastic miniatures were sculpted by Rick Van Velsor, who had previously sculpted the collectible figurines. Production funds for the game were raised via a Kickstarter campaign in the summer of 2018, collecting over $1.4 million in pledges from over 20,000 supporters. Shipping to these backers began in early July 2019, followed by a retail version released in the fall of 2020 to stores. In spring 2022, the "Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck" was released which added new gameplay elements to the board game.

[edit] History

The idea first came up after The Brothers Chaps developed an interest in playing more advanced board games with their kids and friends. Playing games like Ticket to Ride, Kill Doctor Lucky, and legacy games like Pandemic Season 1 and Risk Legacy prompted the idea of making their own game. Centered around Trogdor, the concept drew influence from many aspects of the character (computer game, song, cartoon, etc.) to design "a game of burnination, cooperation, and peasant-tation" (as described by Matt's daughter).

Initial prototypes were made with 3D-printed pieces and handmade cards, before the Chaps reached out to other collaborators. Patrick Rothfuss introduced them to James Ernest of Cheapass Games, who refined the gameplay systems. Illustrator Chris Schweizer drew the artwork for the cards, tiles, and packaging (additional drawings by Mike Chapman, purportedly from Strong Bad, appear in the margins of the instruction booklet). The game pieces were sculpted by Rick Van Velsor.

[edit] Pre-release Promotion

The first pre-release image of the game board

The game was first teased through several Instagram posts in 2017. On September 29, a video of a thatched-roof cottage being 3D-printed was posted. On October 16, a video of a CG model of Trogdor designed for 3D-printing was shared. Heavily-filtered and obscured pictures of the prototype game board were shared on October 20 and November 17, with neither being clear enough to see well. A single action card was revealed on January 24, 2018, in The Deleteheads Download Vol. 1, purportedly leaked from the Boardelectrix offices.

The first announcement, featuring the game board.

The game was officially announced on March 19, 2018, by both an Index Page footer message and a post on the @StrongBadActual Twitter account. Both promoted that a "janky prototype" of the game would be playable at PAX East 2018, April 5–8. The Brothers Chaps also held a panel at PAX East, revealing more information about the game and mentioning that a "Kickcheater" was forthcoming.

An advertisement video was posted on @StrongBadActual on June 12, 2018, announcing that the Kickstarter would launch in July. A dedicated webpage was made for the game on June 29, 2018. Dedicated Twitter and Facebook pages were created the same day; both social media accounts have since been closed.

Later playtests took place at Gen Con on August 2–3, 2018 and on the JoCo Cruise in March 2019.

[edit] Kickstarter Campaign

Pledge it out!

See also Trogdor!! The Board Game (video)

The Kickstarter "Trogdor!! The Board Game" campaign was launched on Tuesday, July 17, 2018 with an initial goal of $75,000 — which was surpassed within the first few hours.

Several reward levels were available, with higher levels made in partnership with Wyrmwood Gaming:

$40: Wingaling Level — The full game with screen-printed wooden meeple game pieces.
$60: Burninator Level — The full game with screen-printed wooden meeple game pieces as well as a set of painted high quality plastic miniature game pieces.
$200: Wyrmwood Beefy Level — Everything from the Burninator Level plus a handcrafted wooden gameboard made of cherry by the artisans at Wyrmwood Gaming.
$500: Wyrmwood Majesty Level — Everything from the Burninator Level plus an engraved, handcrafted Wyrmwood gameboard, box, and accessories made of cherry.
$1,800: Wyrmwood Consummate Level — Everything from the Burninator Level plus the handcrafted Wyrmwood gameboard, box, and accessories made from even more luxurious wood and materials PLUS a built in Lazy-Susan!

[edit] Stretch Goals

Once the initial $75,000 goal was reached, several additional backing goals were met that allowed for improvements to the quality of the base game:

$150,000 — Repeated tiles have unique art. Spot UV printing used on burninated tile backs.
$250,000 — A "Stack 'Em To The Heavens" mini-game for the wooden meeples, including a drawstring bag and rules card, was added. A soundboard website was made available. A backer-submitted email (parenting) would be answered.
5,000 backers — Really Cool Boat
10,000 backers — Card material upgraded to linen. Spot UV printing used on box.
12,000 backers — Six-Sadded, Die. - Don't Make Daddy P.O.'d. Strong Bad's Keepers and Items added to the game.
15,000 backers — Alternate Trogdor meeples of The S is for Sucks Dragon, Strong Bad's original Trogdor drawing, Strong Mad's "DAGRON" attempt, Wormdingler, and Strong Sad's chiaroscuro dragon.

[edit] Bingo

The completed bingo board.

A "Backer Burnination Bingo" was also completed, in which backers could submit their Trogdor fanstuff to complete a 3×3 bingo board:

20 works of Trogdor poetry
5 Trogdor or Peasant cosplays
20 ratty old Trogdor t-shirts
5 "Six-Sadded, Die" 3D prints
10 Trogdor tattoos
10 'Dagron' carvings
5 "Trogdor" ukulele covers
15 chiaroscuro Trogdor fan drawings
20 inanimate objects that look like Trogdor

In the style of the board game, once the nine tiles were "burninated" an additional task was required to burninate the central cottage:

1 video of 25 people screaming 'TROGDOR!'

Completing the bingo unlocked a live stream of Matt Chapman playing and voicing Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People episode Homestar Ruiner.

[edit] Conclusion

The campaign ended on Wednesday, August 15, 2018, with a total of $1,421,903 raised (nearly 20 times the goal) and 23,338 backers.

Preorders were available on Backerkit from September 17 to October 31 (originally October 15). Extra items, such as character meeples, enamel pins, and shirts, were also available with preorders. A rulebook album, consisting of thirteen songs explaining rules and mechanics of the game, was released April 15, 2019.

Shipping to backers began in early July 2019.

[edit] Retail

A "Retail Edition" of the game was released in Fall 2020, after the Kickstarter concluded. This version does not include the wooden meeples or "Stack 'Em To The Heavens!" minigame, but is otherwise identical, and is sold in the Shopify and Teespring Stores. A print-and-play version can be made here.

[edit] Post-Release

In Spring 2020, the "Book of Haldo" beta rulebook was posted on the website and Twitter, giving the Archer a more complex ruleset.

In Spring 2022, the "Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck" was released which adds new gameplay elements to the board game. A toon was made to explain and promote the expansion.

[edit] Instructions

For complete instructions, see the official rulebook.

[edit] General

The objective of the game, as outlined in Trogdor's song, is to:

Burninate the countryside: flip all twenty-five tiles to the burninated side.
Burninate the peasants: remove all peasants from the board, whether by chomping or burninating them.
Burninate the thatched-roof cottages: set all three cottages aflame.

Once all three conditions have been met, the game ends in victory.

[edit] Setup

See Trogdor!! The Board Game Items for complete descriptions of game components.

The map, cards, pieces, and Trog-Meter

[edit] Game Board

Place the twenty-five countryside tiles, unburninated side up, in a five-by-five grid. Players may use the board presets listed in the instruction booklet or come up with their own configurations. For easier play, place cottage and lake tiles on edges, and place the two tunnels far from each other. Once the board has been arranged, place one cottage and one peasant on each cottage tile. Place Trogdor on the center tile, and place the two knights and the archer on different tiles.

Place the Trog-Meter, action deck, movement deck, and Void card next to the board, with space for two discard piles. Place the Troghammer and the flame helmet in their spaces on the Trog-Meter. Fill the Trog-Meter with the remaining four peasants.

[edit] Keepers of Trogdor

Each player will assume the role of one of the Keepers of Trogdor, granting them special abilities as described on the card. These abilities do not need to be recharged, and may be used only on the player's turn unless specified otherwise. Deal each player a Keeper card, either chosen or at random.

[edit] Items of Trogdor

Each player will have an item that may be used to perform a special action as described on the card. These actions may be used only on the player's turn, and must be recharged by satisfying the condition on the card before they can be used again. A player's item may only be recharged on their turn, and may not be used more than once per turn, regardless of recharge (though it may be used and recharged, or recharged and used, in the same turn). The Disk of Healing does not recharge and may only be used once per game. Deal each player an item card, either chosen or at random.

[edit] Action and Movement Deck

Players will draw from the action deck on their turn to determine the actions they can take. Seven of the action cards are Troghammer cards. Remove these from the action deck and set them aside; they will be shuffled in the first time Trogdor takes damage. Shuffle the action deck and deal one action card to each player.

Movement cards will be used to specify the movements of peasants, knights, and the archer during the countryside phase. Shuffle the movement deck and place it where players can reach.

Any method may be used to determine who takes the first turn.

[edit] Turns

A turn being played with meeples

Each turn consists of two phases: one where the player controls Trogdor, and one where the countryside takes actions. Note that the countryside phase is still considered part of the turn of the player who just moved Trogdor.

[edit] Phase 1: Trogdor's Actions

Draw an action card. The player should now have two action cards in hand, and must choose one to play and one to "bank" for a future turn. Each action card should specify a number of action points (AP) and a special action or ability that Trogdor is allowed for that turn. Note that these abilities are optional and do not need to be used. If the player doesn't like either of their action cards, they may discard one to gain 5 AP with no special ability. Once an action card is chosen, it may be discarded.

If a Troghammer card is drawn:

If the Troghammer is not yet in play, place it on the center tile.
If the Troghammer is in play, draw a movement card, and, ignoring all other information on the card, move the Troghammer along the movement path (damaging Trogdor and repairing cottages as in a normal knight movement).

If at any time the Troghammer lands on a tile occupied by a knight or archer, draw another movement card and move it again. After a Troghammer card has been drawn, discard it and draw a new action card. Note that the Troghammer is a knight, and if he is in play, all rules applying to knights apply to him as well.

Trogdor burninating a cottage

Once an action card has been chosen for play, Trogdor may take actions—up to the number of action points specified on that card. These are the actions that players can do:

Move Trogdor one tile to the north, south, east or west. Trogdor does not have diagonal movement or wraparound movement unless granted by a Keeper or an action card.
- Trogdor takes damage if he moves onto a knight's tile.
Chomp a peasant on the tile Trogdor occupies. Remove the peasant from the board and add it to the Trog-Meter (Trogdor's health).
Hide on a mountain tile, rendering Trogdor invulnerable to the knights and archer during the next phase. Set Trogdor on his side to represent his hidden status. This action will end the turn.
Burrow from one tunnel tile to the other.
Burninate a tile, a peasant, or an eligible cottage.
- Burninate a tile: Flip the tile Trogdor occupies to the burninated side. This does not affect any other pieces occupying the tile. Note that burninated tiles retain any special function they had previously.
  - The lake tile must be surrounded by burninated tiles on all four sides before it may be burninated. (This condition does not wrap around if the lake is on the edge of the board.)
  - Cards that let players burninate a tile other than the one where Trogdor is standing ignore the usual burninating restrictions; for example, the lake tile can be burninated regardless of the condition of its neighbors.
- Burninate a peasant on the tile Trogdor occupies: Crown the peasant with the flame helmet. Then draw a movement card, and, ignoring all other information on the card, move the peasant along the movement path, burninating each tile the peasant visits (including its starting tile). If the peasant reaches the end of its path without being saved by the lake (see below), it is removed from the board and placed in the Void, not on the Trog-Meter.
  - If the peasant visits an eligible cottage, the cottage is ignited. If the peasant's path ends on a burninated cottage, the peasant is re-ignited with a fresh movement card.
  - If the peasant visits another peasant, the other peasant is ignited—complete the current peasant's movement and then draw a fresh movement card for the other one.
  - If the peasant visits the lake, the peasant is extinguished and the lake is left unharmed, regardless of its burnination status. (There is, therefore, no point in burninating a peasant who is already at the lake, as it will be extinguished instantly.)
- Burninate a cottage on the tile Trogdor occupies: In order to be eligible, a cottage's tile must be burninated, as well as the eight tiles surrounding it. As with the lake, this condition does not wrap around. If the cottage is eligible, it may be burninated by flipping the piece to its burninated side.
  - Note: cottages may be repaired by knights. If the tiles around a burninated cottage are repaired by peasants, the cottage is not automatically repaired, but it will make it more difficult to re-burninate if it does get repaired.
Pass and forfeit any remaining action points.

[edit] Phase 2: The Countryside's Movements

It's time for the countryside to fight back. Draw a movement card. All peasants, knights, and the archer have wraparound movement: if they move off the edge of the board on one side, they reappear on the opposite side.

Observe the number of peasants (zero to four) in the top left of the card. Spawn peasants from the Trog-Meter until the number of peasants on the board is greater than or equal to the number of peasants on the card. Note that health lost due to peasant spawning is not considered damage, and thus Trogdor cannot be killed by peasant spawning. Peasants may be placed on any cottage tile, given the following rules:
- A cottage that is already occupied by a peasant cannot spawn peasants.
- A burninated cottage cannot spawn peasants.
- If there is no cottage that can spawn a peasant, or if the Trog-Meter is empty, no more peasants can be spawned. Peasants never spawn from the Void.
Move all peasants on the board one tile in the direction specified on the arrow. If the arrow is green, peasants repair the tiles they step onto. Peasants do not repair cottages—if a peasant steps onto the tile of a burninated cottage, the peasant is burninated.
Move the knights (including the Troghammer if he is in play) and the archer along the movement path.
- If a knight visits Trogdor's tile, Trogdor takes damage; move one peasant from the Trog-Meter to the Void. If a knight visits a burninated cottage, that cottage is repaired.
- At the end of the archer's movement, it fires arrows along its row (if it last moved horizontally) or column (if it last moved vertically). If Trogdor is in this row or column, he takes damage. Note that arrows do not touch the archer's tile; if the archer is on Trogdor's tile when he shoots, Trogdor is not harmed.
Remember to shuffle the Troghammer cards into the action deck the first time Trogdor takes damage.

It is now the next player's turn. Turns move clockwise.

[edit] Trogdor's Fiery Rage

If Trogdor takes damage while the Trog-Meter is at zero, he dies—or rather, he "rage-quits". Trogdor's Fiery Rage is a special endgame phase in which Trogdor has one last chance to beat the game in a blaze of glory.

Draw five movement cards, and, ignoring all other information on the card, move Trogdor along each movement path sequentially. Trogdor gains wraparound movement for this phase. Including his starting tile, Trogdor lays waste to everything he touches: tiles and cottages are burninated regardless of eligibility, peasants are removed (without triggering peasant burnination), and knights are killed (although the archer lives). If, by the end of the five movements, the win conditions have been met, Trogdor has achieved a "total table-flip victory". If not, "Trogdor [retires] in defeat, to burninate another day."

Strong Bad encourages players to end each game, regardless of the outcome, with a rousing "IT'S OVER!"

[edit] Book of Haldo

A summary of the Book of Haldo rules

For complete instructions, see the Book of Haldo Rulebook.

In a tweet from April 13, 2020, Strong Bad introduced a new set of rules for Trogdor!! The Board Game that affects how arrows shot by the archers affect other game pieces.

If playing with Book of Haldo rules, the game board must be set up so two cottages are placed on any of the eight tiles surrounding the center.

The archers now shoot arrows in all four cardinal directions (north, south, east and west) from wherever the archers land at the end of their movement path. Be sure to track the path of each arrow, as it will impact tiles and game pieces in new and chaotic ways. If more than one element occupies a tile touched by an arrow, resolve in the order listed below.

Flaming cottage: The arrow flies through the cottage and catches fire, making it a flaming arrow. Flaming arrows burninate every tile they pass through (including the lake), in addition to the effects described below.
Peasant: The peasant is shot and rendered "immobilized". Arrowed peasants do not move and do not count in the peasant spawning tally. However, Trogdor can—and must in order to win—still eat these peasants. Arrow path ends.
1. If the arrow is flaming, the peasant is burninated instead.
Tunnel: The arrow flies into the tunnel and out the other end, continuing in its original direction. Trogdor is hit by the arrow if he is standing on the "out" tunnel, but not if he is standing on the "in" tunnel.
Knight: The shot is deflected in the direction of the peasant movement on the movement card. The arrow continues flying until it hits something or reaches the edge of the board. If the arrow hits a second knight, the arrow is deflected again in the original direction that the archers shot it.
Unburninated cottage: The cottage blocks the shot. If Trogdor is on the same tile as the cottage, he hides behind the cottage and does not take any damage. Arrow path ends.
1. If the arrow is flaming and the cottage is eligible, the cottage is burninated.
Troghammer: He protects himself by performing a spin attack, damaging Trogdor if he is on any of the eight adjacent tiles (but not the tile on which the Troghammer stands). The spin attack does not affect peasants, knights, or archers, and does not wrap around. Arrow path ends.
Trogdor: Trogdor is arrowed as normal.

If the archers end their movement path on the same tile that Trogdor occupies, Trogdor sets all four arrows on fire before they are shot.

[edit] Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck

"It's like new cards that they didn't think of the first time they made the game."

See also Trogdor!! The Board Game Items#Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck

The deck includes 46 cards, Action and Emergency cards intended to mix with the existing Action deck and Spell Cards to form a new deck for play.

21 new Action Cards
10 Emergency Cards
10 Spell Cards
2 Rule Cards
3 additional Troghammer Cards

[edit] Stack 'Em to the Heavens

"Now you can play a game called Stack 'Em to the Heavens!"

Stack 'Em to the Heavens is a competitive meeple-stacking minigame. A small white drawstring canvas bag comes free inside every board game box. The bag has an image of Marshie on fire, with the text "STACK EM TO THE HEAVENS!" and the rules on it. According to the Kickstarter page, the bag is intended to be used for keeping meeples in, so the game can be played anywhere. The title (and Marshie's presence on the bag and in the commercial) is a reference to Marshie's song in Malloween Commercial, when advertising that Fluffy Puff Malloweens fit on top of each other.

Start by putting the peasant, knight, and Troghammer meeples in a bag, shake the bag, and roll the meeples onto a surface. The two players take turns stacking meeples on top of each other. Meeples that land face-up or on their edge are stacked upright and can be rotated however the player chooses, and face-down meeples are stacked flat. The objective is to make the tower as precarious as possible, making the other player topple the stack down, or to force the other player into placing a third consecutive peasant. If all the meeples are successfully stacked, the game ends in a draw.

Originally, there was an animated GIF on the board game's Kickstarter page, depicting meeples being stacked. The GIF's caption jokingly mentioned that the reader could make up a minigame called "Stack Em To The Heavens". On July 17th, the day the Kickstarter campaign began, the second stretch goal was announced. It was stated that upon reaching $250,000, that joke would be turned into a real game, and a companion soundboard website would be created for the board game. The goal was achieved the next day. On August 15, 2018, Puppet Strong Bad, Mike Chapman, and Lucky Yates played the game live during the Final Hours Playthrough. According to Strong Bad, the rules were made up the day before in five minutes. At this point, the archer was also included. On October 25, 2018, a commercial was released on YouTube.

[edit] Fun Facts

[edit] Trivia

Several cards and mechanics were altered or replaced during the pre-production of the game.
- Items of Trogdor:
  - "That Dog Tennis Ball Thing, 'cept with Fireballs" was originally called "Ball of Fire".
  - "Pauldrons of Greg" had the ability to prevent Trogdor from taking one damage, recharging when Trogdor devours a peasant. In the final game, "Shield of Cumberdale" and "Super Trinket" provide similar functions, albeit from only one source of damage each.
  - "Bones of Luckman" gave the player an extra Action point. This was replaced by "Two Gross Beans", which gives the player two additional AP.
- Action cards:
  - "High Energy" was originally called "Trog-Burst", and before that, "Extra Actions".
  - "Jhonka Help" originally provided 6 action points, and one of those could be used to eat a peasant on any tile on Trogdor's turn. The final card instead provides 5, but gives the peasant chomp for free.
  - Peasants could originally only be eaten on burninated tiles.
  - The original circumstances for summoning the Troghammer were different: Troghammer cards are always in the deck, and the Troghammer is summoned after three are drawn.
Naked Ned is visible on one of the forest tiles, hiding behind a tree.

[edit] Remarks

The rulebook and the bonus Keeper and Item cards use a different font for Strong Bad's handwriting than the usual AhnbergHand.

[edit] Inside References

The whole board game is intended as a loose adaption of the original video game TROGDOR!.
The Keepers of Trogdor were the guardians of the Trog-Cave in Peasant's Quest and dispensed battle armor and weaponry used to slay Trogdor. In this game, they aim to keep Trogdor alive and control Trogdor directly.
The two archers in the game are Mendelev and Dongolev. Crangolev is described as being their cool older sister.
The alternate meeple dragon figures that can be used in place of Trogdor are from the Strong Bad Email dragon, including Wormdingler.
One of the Action cards is called Flip 'em Up Dan. There is also a "Flip 'em Up Fran" card.
One of the Action cards is called "Jhonka Help".
Hardybardy is said to be available for heavy metal bands.
Strong Bad's keeper card "Lord Pastryhorn of Fangleburg" features croissant-like horns, which he professed a desire for in 3 wishes.
One of the items is Ye Flask of Dennis, both running gags prominently featured in the Thy Dungeonman games.
The Shield of Cumberdale refers to Ron Cumberdale, a child that one of the Keepers of Trogdor held in great contempt.
The Super Trinket and Old Man Rub items were also used in Peasant's Quest.
One of the "#1 way way better" items is a Keyswordtar.

The miniature game pieces are sculpted by Rick Van Velsor, the person who sculpted the [[Store#figurines set one|collectible figurines]]. It was put on [[wikipedia:Kickstarter|Kickstarter]] on Tuesday, July 17, 2018 with a goal of $75,000, which has been surpassed in the first few hours. The game's shipping date is estimated to be around July 2019.
+'''Trogdor!! The Board Game''' (shortened to '''Trogdor!!''') is a [[board game]] featuring [[Trogdor]] rampaging across [[Peasantry]]. [[PAX East - 8 Apr 2018|Described as]] a "board game adaptation of [[TROGDOR!|the video game adaptation]] of [[TROGDOR (song)|the song]] from [[dragon|the cartoon]]", ''Trogdor!!'' is a cooperative puzzle area control game in which the players work together to burninate the countryside, [[peasants]], and [[thatched-roof cottages]]. Each player assumes the role of a [[The Three Keepers of Trogdor|Keeper of Trogdor]], making use of unique powers and items to guide Trogdor around the board to accomplish this goal while avoiding [[The Red and Blue Knights|knights]] and [[Mendelev and Dongolev|archers]]. The game is for one to six players, and play time is estimated at 30 minutes. The recommended age is 14+, and difficulty can vary based on player-chosen level layouts.
-Trogdor!! is a cooperative puzzle area control game in which the players work together to burninate all of the game tiles, [[thatched-roof cottages]], and [[peasants]]. Every player controls Trogdor, assuming the role of one of the twelve [[The Three Keepers of Trogdor|Keepers of Trogdor]]. Each Keeper has unique powers and items, both decided by cards. The game is for two to six players, and play time is 30 to 45 minutes with variable levels of difficulty the players can set. The recommended age is 14+. The board is a 5-by-5 grid of flippable green square tiles with rounded edges, resembling locations in [[Peasantry]].
+The game is made by [[the Brothers Chaps]] ([[Boardelectrix]]) and {{w|James Ernest}} ({{w|Cheapass Games}}). The box art, game tiles, character cards, and item cards feature art by Chris Schweizer. The rulebook was written with [http://lonesharkgames.com Loneshark Games]. The plastic miniatures were sculpted by [[Rick Van Velsor]], who had previously sculpted the [[Homestar Runner Figurines|collectible figurines]]. Production funds for the game were raised via a {{w|Kickstarter}} campaign in the summer of 2018, collecting over $1.4 million in pledges from over 20,000 supporters. Shipping to these backers began in early July 2019, followed by a retail version released in the fall of 2020 to [[store]]s. In spring 2022, the "[[#Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck|Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck]]" was released which added new gameplay elements to the board game.

+The idea first came up after [[The Brothers Chaps]] developed an interest in playing more advanced board games with their kids and friends. Playing games like ''{{w|Ticket to Ride (board game)|Ticket to Ride}}'', ''{{w|Kill Doctor Lucky}}'', and {{w|legacy game}}s like ''{{w|Pandemic (board game)|Pandemic}} Season 1'' and ''{{w|Risk (game)|Risk Legacy}}'' prompted the idea of making their own game. Centered around Trogdor, the concept drew influence from many aspects of the character ([[TROGDOR!|computer game]], [[Trogdor (song)|song]], [[dragon|cartoon]], etc.) to design "a game of burnination, cooperation, and peasant-tation" (as described by Matt's daughter).

+Initial prototypes were made with 3D-printed pieces and handmade cards, before the Chaps reached out to other collaborators. {{w|Patrick Rothfuss}} introduced them to {{w|James Ernest}} of {{w|Cheapass Games}}, who refined the gameplay systems. Illustrator Chris Schweizer drew the artwork for the cards, tiles, and packaging (additional drawings by [[Mike Chapman]], purportedly from Strong Bad, appear in the margins of the instruction booklet). The game pieces were sculpted by [[Rick Van Velsor]].

+====Conclusion====
-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 [[3D Character Variations|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 campaign ended on Wednesday, August 15, 2018, with a total of $1,421,903 raised (nearly 20 times the goal) and 23,338 backers.
-The game was confirmed on March 19, 2018, by both the [[Index Page]] and the [[@StrongBadActual]] Twitter account, with a photo of the board. More cards were revealed on @StrongBadActual the same day in a reply. It was playable every day from 12 PM to 2 PM in Kickstarter Couchland (room 103) of [[PAX - 8 Apr 2018|PAX East]]. During The Brothers Chaps' panel at PAX East, they revealed much more information about it. An advertisement video was posted on @StrongBadActual on June 12, 2018, announcing the release date of July. A dedicated [http://trogdorboardgame.homestarrunner.com webpage] was made for it on June 29, 2018, and it was put on Kickstarter on July 17, 2018. There will also be a playtest at [[wikipedia:Gen Con|Gen Con]].
+Preorders were available on [https://trogdor.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders Backerkit] from September 17 to [[Halloween|October 31]] (originally October 15). Extra items, such as [[character]] [[Meeple Character Variations|meeples]], enamel pins, and shirts, were also available with preorders. A [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Rulebook EP|rulebook album]], consisting of thirteen songs explaining rules and mechanics of the game, was released April 15, 2019.
+Shipping to backers began in early July 2019.
+===Retail===
+A "Retail Edition" of the game was released in Fall 2020, after the Kickstarter concluded. This version does not include the wooden meeples or "Stack 'Em To The Heavens!" minigame, but is otherwise identical, and is sold in the  [[myshopify:products/coming-in-fall-2020-trogdor-the-board-game-retail-version|Shopify]] and {{p|l=https://www.strongbadsspecialtyshoppe.com/listing/trogdor-the-board-game?product=2050 Teespring}} [[Store]]s. A print-and-play version can be made [[oldhr:printandplay|here]].
+===Post-Release===
+In Spring 2020, the "[[#Book of Haldo|Book of Haldo]]" beta rulebook was posted on the [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Website|website]] and {{prs|1249795875486007296|Apr|13|2020|alt=Twitter}}, giving the Archer a more complex ruleset.
+In Spring 2022, the "[[#Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck|Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck]]" was released which adds new gameplay elements to the board game. A [[Expando Deck Promo|toon]] was made to explain and promote the expansion.
 ==Instructions==
-The goal is to burninate the countryside. The tiles can be burninated by flipping them over, and the burninated side is black and fiery. The cottages can be burninated by flipping the roof, which has a flame underneath. The peasants can be burninated by putting a flaming helmet on them, and they leave a flaming path when they're moved. There are three cottages on the board, and one peasant on each cottage tile. Before a cottage is burninated, the surrounding tiles must be burninated. If an unburninated peasant walks into a burninated cottage or another burninated peasant, the unburninated peasant is burninated. The player has a choice to eat or burninate peasants (although a peasant can't be eaten until its tile has been burninated). If a peasant is burninated, it leaves a flaming trail around the board before disappearing. If a peasant is eaten, it will be added to the "Trog-meter" (originally called "[[theme park|The Bowels of Trogdor]]"), which represents Trogdor's health. It starts with four peasants, but can hold up to seven. If Trogdor is hurt, a peasant will be removed (causing his health to decrease). If the Trog-meter decreases to zero, the game is over, and the players have one last chance to try to destroy everything. Trogdor can be harmed by the two [[The Red and Blue Knights|knights]], and the archers [[Mendelev]] and [[Dongolev]]. After three "Trog-Hammer" cards are drawn from the Action card pile, a third knight comes out and makes the game more difficult. The Trog-Hammer knight is placed in the center of the board. If a knight is already occupying that space, a movement card is drawn and the first knight is moved immediately.
+:''For complete instructions, see the [[trogdorboardgame:Trogdor_Rulebook.pdf|official rulebook]].''
-Each player starts with one Action card. Each turn, the player draws another Action card, and chooses between using their banked card or their new card. If the banked card is chosen, the new card becomes the banked card. Each Action card has a number of "action points" and a special ability (for example, moving diagonally). Action points can be used to move, burninate the tile Trogdor occupies, or use the Action card ability. Trogdor can only move one tile at a time, and can't move diagonally (without a specific Action card). If Trogdor is on a mountain tile, he can use an Action point to hide in the mountains (with the Trogdor game piece lying down). If Trogdor is on a tunnel tile, he can use an Action point to warp to the other cave.
+===General===
+The objective of the game, as outlined in [[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor's song]], is to:
+*'''Burninate the [[Peasantry|countryside]]:''' flip all twenty-five tiles to the burninated side.
+*'''Burninate the [[peasants]]:''' remove all peasants from the board, whether by chomping or burninating them.
+*'''Burninate the [[thatched-roof cottages]]:''' set all three cottages aflame.
+Once all three conditions have been met, the game ends in victory.
-After each turn, the player draws a movement card. Each movement card has directions for unburninated peasants (usually one or two moves, such as "north" or "north, west"), and directions for burninated peasants, knights, and archers (three or four moves, such as "north, east, north" or "west, south, south, west"). If a peasant, knight, or archer reaches the end of the board, they wrap around to the other side. When the archers' movement is finished, they shoot arrows along and opposite the direction of their last movement (so if their last movement was "west", they'd shoot arrows west and east), hurting Trogdor if he is in their path, but not harming peasants or knights. Trogdor is not harmed if he is on the same tile as the archers when they shoot. Peasants can regenerate at unburninated cottages (taken from the Trog-meter) if the number of peasants on the movement card is higher than the number of peasants on the board. If a movement card has a green arrow and says "move and repair", peasants and knights can repair any burninated cottage tiles they land on. If a movement card has a red arrow, burninated cottages aren't repaired.

-==Tiles==
+====Game Board====
-*A broken fence (x3)
+Place the twenty-five countryside tiles, unburninated side up, in a five-by-five grid. Players may use the board presets listed in the instruction booklet or come up with their own configurations. For easier play, place cottage and lake tiles on edges, and place the two tunnels far from each other. Once the board has been arranged, place one cottage and one peasant on each cottage tile. Place Trogdor on the center tile, and place the two knights and the archer on different tiles.
-*Green tree 1
-*Mountains (x2)
-*An orange tree (x2)
-*A tunnel (x2)
-*A tree stump (x2)
-*Green tree 2 (x3)

-*Flowers (x2)
-*Green tree 3
-*A lake
-==Cards==
+Place the Trog-Meter, action deck, movement deck, and Void card next to the board, with space for two discard piles. Place the Troghammer and the flame helmet in their spaces on the Trog-Meter. Fill the Trog-Meter with the remaining four peasants.

-==="Turn Steps" Card===
+====Action and Movement Deck====
-<blockquote>
+Players will draw from the action deck on their turn to determine the actions they can take. Seven of the action cards are Troghammer cards. Remove these from the action deck and set them aside; they will be shuffled in the first time Trogdor takes damage. Shuffle the action deck and deal one action card to each player.
-'''Turn Steps'''
-#DRAW a card from the<br>Trogdeck
+Movement cards will be used to specify the movements of peasants, knights, and the archer during the countryside phase. Shuffle the movement deck and place it where players can reach.

-{{sectionstub}}
+Any method may be used to determine who takes the first turn.
+===Turns===
+[[File:gameGallery12new.jpg|thumb|A turn being played with meeples]]
+Each turn consists of two phases: one where the player controls Trogdor, and one where the countryside takes actions. Note that the countryside phase is still considered part of the turn of the player who just moved Trogdor.
+====Phase 1: Trogdor's Actions====
+Draw an action card. The player should now have two action cards in hand, and must choose one to play and one to "bank" for a future turn. Each action card should specify a number of action points (AP) and a special action or ability that Trogdor is allowed for that turn. Note that these abilities are optional and do not need to be used. If the player doesn't like either of their action cards, they may discard one to gain 5 AP with no special ability. Once an action card is chosen, it may be discarded.
+If a Troghammer card is drawn:
+*If the Troghammer is not yet in play, place it on the center tile.
+*If the Troghammer is in play, draw a movement card, and, ignoring all other information on the card, move the Troghammer along the movement path (damaging Trogdor and repairing cottages as in a normal knight movement).
+If at any time the Troghammer lands on a tile occupied by a knight or archer, draw another movement card and move it again. After a Troghammer card has been drawn, discard it and draw a new action card. Note that the Troghammer is a knight, and if he is in play, all rules applying to knights apply to him as well.
+[[File:gameGallery11new.jpg|thumb|Trogdor burninating a cottage]]
+Once an action card has been chosen for play, Trogdor may take actions{{--}}up to the number of action points specified on that card. These are the actions that players can do:
+*'''Move''' Trogdor one tile to the north, south, east or west. Trogdor does not have diagonal movement or wraparound movement unless granted by a Keeper or an action card.
+**Trogdor takes damage if he moves onto a knight's tile.
+*'''Chomp''' a peasant on the tile Trogdor occupies. Remove the peasant from the board and add it to the Trog-Meter (Trogdor's health).
+*'''Hide''' on a mountain tile, rendering Trogdor invulnerable to the knights and archer during the next phase. Set Trogdor on his side to represent his hidden status. This action will end the turn.
+*'''Burrow''' from one tunnel tile to the other.
+*'''Burninate''' a tile, a peasant, or an eligible cottage.
+**'''Burninate a tile:''' Flip the tile Trogdor occupies to the burninated side. This does not affect any other pieces occupying the tile. Note that burninated tiles retain any special function they had previously.
+***The lake tile must be surrounded by burninated tiles on all four sides before it may be burninated. (This condition does not wrap around if the lake is on the edge of the board.)
+***Cards that let players burninate a tile other than the one where Trogdor is standing ignore the usual burninating restrictions; for example, the lake tile can be burninated regardless of the condition of its neighbors.
+**'''Burninate a peasant''' on the tile Trogdor occupies: Crown the peasant with the flame helmet. Then draw a movement card, and, ignoring all other information on the card, move the peasant along the movement path, burninating each tile the peasant visits (including its starting tile). If the peasant reaches the end of its path without being saved by the lake (see below), it is removed from the board and placed in the Void, not on the Trog-Meter.
+***If the peasant visits an eligible cottage, the cottage is ignited. If the peasant's path ends on a burninated cottage, the peasant is re-ignited with a fresh movement card.
+***If the peasant visits another peasant, the other peasant is ignited{{--}}complete the current peasant's movement and then draw a fresh movement card for the other one.
+***If the peasant visits the lake, the peasant is extinguished and the lake is left unharmed, regardless of its burnination status. (There is, therefore, no point in burninating a peasant who is already at the lake, as it will be extinguished instantly.)
+**'''Burninate a cottage''' on the tile Trogdor occupies: In order to be ''eligible'', a cottage's tile must be burninated, as well as the eight tiles surrounding it. As with the lake, this condition does not wrap around. If the cottage is eligible, it may be burninated by flipping the piece to its burninated side.
+***Note: cottages may be repaired by knights. If the tiles around a burninated cottage are repaired by peasants, the cottage is not automatically repaired, but it will make it more difficult to re-burninate if it does get repaired.
+*'''Pass''' and forfeit any remaining action points.
+====Phase 2: The Countryside's Movements====
+It's time for the countryside to fight back. Draw a movement card. All peasants, knights, and the archer have ''wraparound movement'': if they move off the edge of the board on one side, they reappear on the opposite side.
+*Observe the number of peasants (zero to four) in the top left of the card. Spawn peasants from the Trog-Meter until the number of peasants on the board is greater than or equal to the number of peasants on the card. Note that health lost due to peasant spawning is not considered damage, and thus Trogdor cannot be killed by peasant spawning. Peasants may be placed on any cottage tile, given the following rules:
+**A cottage that is already occupied by a peasant cannot spawn peasants.
+**A burninated cottage cannot spawn peasants.
+**If there is no cottage that can spawn a peasant, or if the Trog-Meter is empty, no more peasants can be spawned. Peasants never spawn from the Void.
+*Move all peasants on the board one tile in the direction specified on the arrow. If the arrow is green, peasants repair the tiles they step onto. Peasants do not repair cottages{{--}}if a peasant steps onto the tile of a burninated cottage, the peasant is burninated.
+*Move the knights (including the Troghammer if he is in play) and the archer along the movement path.
+**If a knight visits Trogdor's tile, Trogdor takes damage; move one peasant from the Trog-Meter to the Void. If a knight visits a burninated cottage, that cottage is repaired.
+**At the end of the archer's movement, it fires arrows along its row (if it last moved horizontally) or column (if it last moved vertically). If Trogdor is in this row or column, he takes damage. Note that arrows do not touch the archer's tile; if the archer is on Trogdor's tile when he shoots, Trogdor is not harmed.
+*Remember to shuffle the Troghammer cards into the action deck the first time Trogdor takes damage.
+It is now the next player's turn. Turns move clockwise.
+===Trogdor's Fiery Rage===
+If Trogdor takes damage while the Trog-Meter is at zero, he dies{{--}}or rather, he "rage-quits". Trogdor's Fiery Rage is a special endgame phase in which Trogdor has one last chance to beat the game in a blaze of glory.
+Draw five movement cards, and, ignoring all other information on the card, move Trogdor along each movement path sequentially. Trogdor gains wraparound movement for this phase. Including his starting tile, Trogdor lays waste to everything he touches: tiles and cottages are burninated regardless of eligibility, peasants are removed (without triggering peasant burnination), and knights are killed (although the archer lives). If, by the end of the five movements, the win conditions have been met, Trogdor has achieved a "[[total]] table-flip victory". If not, "Trogdor [retires] in defeat, to burninate another day."
+Strong Bad encourages players to end each game, regardless of the outcome, with a rousing "[[Teen Girl Squad|IT'S OVER!]]"
+===Book of Haldo===
+[[File:haldo promo.png|thumb|A summary of the Book of Haldo rules]]
+:''For complete instructions, see the [[trogdorboardgame:BookofHaldo_Rulebook.pdf|Book of Haldo Rulebook]].''
+In a tweet from {{prs|1249795875486007296|13|Apr|2020|alt=April 13, 2020}}, Strong Bad introduced a new set of rules for Trogdor!! The Board Game that affects how arrows shot by the archers affect other game pieces.
+If playing with Book of Haldo rules, the game board must be set up so two cottages are placed on any of the eight tiles surrounding the center.
+The archers now shoot arrows in all four cardinal directions (north, south, east and west) from wherever the archers land at the end of their movement path. Be sure to track the path of each arrow, as it will impact tiles and game pieces in new and chaotic ways. If more than one element occupies a tile touched by an arrow, resolve in the order listed below.
+#'''Flaming cottage:''' The arrow flies through the cottage and catches fire, making it a flaming arrow. Flaming arrows burninate every tile they pass through (including the lake), in addition to the effects described below.
+#'''Peasant:''' The peasant is shot and rendered "immobilized". Arrowed peasants do not move and do not count in the peasant spawning tally. However, Trogdor can{{--}}and must in order to win{{--}}still eat these peasants. Arrow path ends.
+##If the arrow is flaming, the peasant is burninated instead.
+#'''Tunnel:''' The arrow flies into the tunnel and out the other end, continuing in its original direction. Trogdor is hit by the arrow if he is standing on the "out" tunnel, but not if he is standing on the "in" tunnel.
+#'''Knight:''' The shot is deflected in the direction of the peasant movement on the movement card. The arrow continues flying until it hits something or reaches the edge of the board. If the arrow hits a second knight, the arrow is deflected again in the original direction that the archers shot it.
+#'''Unburninated cottage:''' The cottage blocks the shot. If Trogdor is on the same tile as the cottage, he hides behind the cottage and does not take any damage. Arrow path ends.
+##If the arrow is flaming and the cottage is eligible, the cottage is burninated.
+#'''Troghammer:''' He protects himself by performing a spin attack, damaging Trogdor if he is on any of the eight adjacent tiles (but not the tile on which the Troghammer stands). The spin attack does not affect peasants, knights, or archers, and does not wrap around. Arrow path ends.
+#'''Trogdor:''' Trogdor is arrowed as normal.
+If the archers end their movement path on the same tile that Trogdor occupies, Trogdor sets all four arrows on fire before they are shot.

+*2 Rule Cards
+*3 additional Troghammer Cards
+==Stack 'Em to the Heavens==
+[[File:StackEmToTheHeavens.png|thumb|"Now you can play a game called Stack 'Em to the Heavens!"]]
+'''Stack 'Em to the [[Heaven]]s''' is a competitive meeple-stacking minigame. A small white drawstring canvas bag comes free inside every board game box. The bag has an image of Marshie on fire, with the text "STACK EM TO THE HEAVENS!" and the rules on it. According to the Kickstarter page, the bag is intended to be used for keeping meeples in, so the game can be played anywhere. The title (and Marshie's presence on the bag and in the commercial) is a reference to Marshie's song in [[Malloween Commercial]], when advertising that [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows|Fluffy Puff Malloweens]] fit on top of each other.
+Start by putting the peasant, knight, and Troghammer meeples in a bag, shake the bag, and roll the meeples onto a surface. The two players take turns stacking meeples on top of each other. Meeples that land face-up or on their edge are stacked upright and can be rotated however the player chooses, and face-down meeples are stacked flat. The objective is to make the tower as precarious as possible, making the other player topple the stack down, or to force the other player into placing a third consecutive peasant. If all the meeples are successfully stacked, the game ends in a draw.
+Originally, there was an animated GIF on the board game's Kickstarter page, depicting meeples being stacked. The GIF's caption jokingly mentioned that the reader could make up a minigame called "Stack Em To The Heavens". On July 17th, the day the Kickstarter campaign began, the second stretch goal was announced. It was stated that upon reaching $250,000, that joke would be turned into a real game, and a companion soundboard website would be created for the board game. The goal was achieved the next day. On August 15, 2018, [[Puppet Character Variations#Puppet Strong Bad|Puppet Strong Bad]], [[Mike Chapman]], and [[Lucky Yates]] played the game live during the [[Final Hours Playthrough]]. According to Strong Bad, the rules were made up the day before in five minutes. At this point, the archer was also included. On October 25, 2018, a [[Stack 'Em to the Heavens!|commercial]] was released on [[YouTube]].

+==Fun Facts==
+===Trivia===
+*Several cards and mechanics were altered or replaced during the pre-production of the game.
+**Items of Trogdor:
+***"That Dog Tennis Ball Thing, 'cept with Fireballs" was originally called "Ball of Fire".
+***"Pauldrons of [[Greg]]" had the ability to prevent Trogdor from taking one damage, recharging when Trogdor devours a peasant. In the final game, "Shield of Cumberdale" and "Super Trinket" provide similar functions, albeit from only one source of damage each.
+***"Bones of Luckman" gave the player an extra Action point. This was replaced by "Two Gross Beans", which gives the player ''two'' additional AP.
+**Action cards:
+***"High Energy" was originally called "Trog-Burst", and before that, "Extra Actions".
+***"Jhonka Help" originally provided 6 action points, and one of those could be used to eat a peasant on any tile on Trogdor's turn. The final card instead provides 5, but gives the peasant chomp for free.
+***Peasants could originally only be eaten on burninated tiles.
+***The original circumstances for summoning the Troghammer were different: Troghammer cards are always in the deck, and the Troghammer is summoned after three are drawn.
+*[[Naked Ned]] is visible on one of the forest tiles, {{prs|1248449601365041152|9|Apr|2020|alt=hiding behind a tree}}.
+===Remarks===
+*The rulebook and the bonus Keeper and Item cards use a different font for Strong Bad's handwriting than the usual [[Fonts#AhnbergHand|AhnbergHand]].
+===Inside References===
+*The whole board game is intended as a loose adaption of the original video game [[TROGDOR!]].
+*[[The Keepers of Trogdor]] were the guardians of the [[Trog-Cave]] in [[Peasant's Quest]] and dispensed battle armor and weaponry used to slay Trogdor. In this game, they aim to keep Trogdor alive and control Trogdor directly.
+*The two archers in the game are [[Mendelev and Dongolev]]. Crangolev is described as being their cool older sister.
+*The alternate meeple [[Dragons|dragon]] figures that can be used in place of Trogdor are from the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[dragon]], including [[Wormdingler]].
+*One of the Action cards is called [[X 'em up|Flip 'em Up]] [[Dan]]. There is also a "Flip 'em Up Fran" card.
+*One of the Action cards is called "[[Jhonka]] Help".
+*Hardybardy is said to be available for [[heavy metal]] bands.
+*Strong Bad's keeper card "Lord Pastryhorn of [[Fang]]leburg" features [[croissant]]-like horns, which he professed a desire for in [[3 wishes]].
+*One of the items is [[Ye Flask]] of [[Dennis]], both [[running gags]] prominently featured in [[Thy Dungeonman (series)|the Thy Dungeonman games]].
+*The Shield of Cumberdale refers to [[Ron Cumberdale]], a child that one of the Keepers of Trogdor held in great contempt.
+*The [[Peasant's Quest Items|Super Trinket]] and [[Ointment|Old Man Rub]] items were also used in Peasant's Quest.
+*One of the "#1 way way better" items is a [[Keyswordtar]].
