About the game
Ogre Scenario Book 3 has nine new scenarios to expand your Ogre battles. Written and designed by Steve Jackson for use with Ogre Designer's Edition, most are compatible with Ogre Sixth Edition as well. An Ogre questions its luck in "Gauntlet" as it returns home. "Longview" features a Command Post that can fight back. And in "Sidewinder," the map is turned on its side, changing the dynamics of the terrain for both the Ogre and the defenders. These and six other scenarios are curated for your enjoyment!

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Ogre: Scenario Book 3 for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
