In Groo: The Game, players compete to be the first to build a large town by playing building cards that give them victory points. Of course, this is no picnic, hindered as it is by other players' rampaging armies and the frequent bumbling visitations of Groo the Wanderer, determined by the roll of a set of dice, which can also grant players resources with which to build and "Groo heads" with which to damage the unfortunates who have Groo in their village. Players can also develop armies to attack other players' cities. This edition of Groo: The Game contains both the original base game and the expansion. 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, and 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.
