St. Louis Public Library Board Games @ Central

From the Librarian: Groo: The Game challenges players to build and protect their towns from rival armies and the chaos caused by Groo the Barbarian, in a fast-paced dice-and-card game. If you enjoy humorous gameplay, strategy, and the iconic art of Sergio Aragonés, this lighthearted game offers quick fun and a touch of classic comic nostalgia.

From the Publisher: Try to build a town . . . without having it stomped to rubble by Groo the Barbarian!

Fans of Mad Magazine love Sergio Aragonés, and they love his character Groo the Barbarian. Groo is a warrior and wanderer, never in one place for long . . . because he's such a klutz the people run him out!

In this fast, fun game, each player tries to build a town and keep it intact against the twin threats of rival armies and Groo's "helpful" visits. Roll dice to gain resources, spend them on buildings or troops . . . but anything you can't use is passed along to your rivals!

• Cards illustrated by the great Sergio Aragonés himself, featuring Groo and his friends and foes.
• A hit when it was first released, but unavailable for many years. Includes both the original game and the supplement!
• Plays in under an hour - great fun for as few as two, or as many as six players.
