Beowulf the Movie Board Game Objective:
In Beowulf: The Movie Board Game, each player strives to tell the most epic version of the Beowulf saga. To this end, each player takes control of Beowulf himself, guiding the hero and his companions to recount the chronicle in the most exciting way possible.
As they play, players try to score as many saga points as they can. Players score saga points by placing their figures in rows and columns that contain boons, while avoiding rows and columns cursed by perils.
The game is divided into three acts. Each act revolves around one of the enemies Beowulf faces: the murderous Grendel, Grendel’s treacherous mother, and the mighty dragon. Each act is played on a different board. As the game proceeds, the options and opportunities multiply – as do the dangers. After all three acts have unfolded, the player with the most saga points wins.
