Build a town before Groo kills it with kindness
This game is based on the Marvel/Epic comic character of the same name - Groo the bungling barbarian.
In this game players endeavour to build a certain size city before Groo or the other players bugger it all up. Each player has a hand, and in their turn they roll the seven supplied dice. One die indicates which direction Groo moves around, the others represent various resources. Players can only play cards if they roll the resources indicated on the cards or if another player was unable to use them.
Players can also build armies and can attack other players with the aim of demolishing their city. The game is pretty fast paced and quite funny at times.
With the expansion pack there's plenty of scope for fun and mayhem. An added bonus is that with the expansion pack upto 6 players can play.
