About the game
This box lets you play as a Goblin! Goblins are nasty, filthy, sadistic creatures that have been the focus of folk tales, nursery rhymes & curses for as long as anyone can remember. Countless numbers of irritations have been attributed to the fiddly destructiveness of the Goblins. As the Goblins gain in number - the trouble becomes malignant, they start stealing larger things like horses, carts & barrels, breaking windows, scratching the mortar away between stones until walls mysteriously fall apart, rotting wooden beams, spoiling grain & defecating everywhere. If the unclean reign of Goblins is not met with sanitation, order & death, they start building their terrible nests where the sun doesn’t shine. This is when Colin the Goblin has decided not to take his seat on the Goblin Throne & the next in line don’t want that target on their backs. It is from here that you must engage in Goblin Mode. Goblin Mode contains a booklet with a new campaign, rules & lore. Four playable Goblin characters: Bog Pimple, Skive Gristle, Khaz Wart & Filch Mold. With new Loot, Skills & Weaknesses, Monsters, Encounters, Danger cards, Counters & more! Box is 9”x6”x2” (the same size as Mean Streets). Goblin Mode lets you play Goblins & views the Würstreich from a Goblin's eye view. Taking place after the Hand of Doom has been vanquished as the Goblins are on the move & trying to establish themselves as the primary threat to Imperial power. Featuring the new Colin the Goblin campaign, where you play as Colin the Goblin Dandy, trying to just live your life but you are next in line for the Goblin Throne. You have to escape the Goblin Horde who are trying desperately to capture Colin & restore the Goblin Hierarchy. Including a book of the rules & more lore about the Goblins & their history from a Goblin perspective. 4 new playable Goblin characters; Colin the Goblin & three other yet to be discovered characters, loot, encounters, monsters & more! —description from the publisher
