Based loosely on the epic Battle of Koom Valley between the Dwarfs and the Trolls, this 2-player game of strategy and skill combines the magic of Terry Pratchett's Discworld with an entirely unique approach to board game playing. In THUD, each player takes turns to play the fast moving Dwarfs as they attempt to trap Trolls in a carefully prepared ambush, only to then take the part of the fearless Trolls as they move inexorably towards the ambush and entrapment of the numerically superior Dwarfs. Contents include 41 exquisitely crafted, hand-painted playing pieces (32 Dwarfs, eight Trolls, one Thudstone), the unique THUD gameboard, scorecards, rulebook, and strategy guide. Scheduled to ship in October 2003.
