"We hope you guys enjoy these dumb songs!"

Trogdor!! The Board Game Rulebook EP is an album of thirteen songs performed by various Homestar Runner characters for Trogdor!! The Board Game. Each song is roughly one to two minutes long, and briefly summarizes the rules for playing the game, from the actions that can be performed on each turn to the movement behaviors of the peasants and knights. The album was revealed in a Kickstarter update on April 15, 2019. Some music videos have been made, and more videos may be released in the future.

It was originally hosted on the official Homestar Runner website with its songs made free to download individually. The songs were later added to the Trogdor!! Soundboard. On September 19, 2019, the album was added to various streaming services with a new hidden track, "Did You Win?" (previously heard in the music video for Trogdor's Fiery Rage).
