Ogre Bash is based on that time-honored Ogre tradition of
standing around in a circle bashing each other on the head with clubs.
The Ogre Bash card game is just like that, except for
the bashing each other on the head part.
When you play Ogre Bash, you're trying to get five cards either of the
same kind or in one of the special winning sequences. The catch is,
you need to have it at the start of your turn. Almost every
time a card is played, you need to trade a card with another player,
so although you may have a winning hand now, it may not be there when
your turn comes around.
Just kind of makes you want to bash an Ogre on the head, doesn't it?
How does a Minor Deity get more glory than the Minor Deity living next door? By sending Minions into battle of course!
Each player controls eight amusing minions who are sent out to strive against the minions of your opponents. The battleground is defined and, based on your minions’ attributes, you choose the best “ahem” man for the job. You can then grant your minion a Boon to help him succeed. At this point a combination of daring and luck may bring you the glory. Dice are rolled. Points are tallied. Only one Minion will emerge to shower glory on their master. Will it be you?
This game contains all the cards and components for a two player game and takes about 20 minutes to play, ages 10 and up.
