Beowulf the Movie Boardgame

Theme: Beowulf the Movie Board Game is an updated version of Reiner Knizai's Kingdoms. In Beowulf, Grendel stalks the Kingdom of Heorot; killing the men of the city. It is now up to Beowulf to save the Kingdom, starting his journey from his homeland and progressing through his quest to defeat Grendel and his Mother.

Beowulf: The Movie Board Game tells the tale of the legendary hero Beowulf’s valor and temptation as he faces the enemies of the Kingdom of Heorot. In each of three acts, players guide Beowulf and his loyal Thanes into battle against the monster Grendel, Grendel’s treacherous mother, and the savage golden dragon who threatens to destroy everything Beowulf holds dear.

Based on the movie directed by Robert Zemeckis from a screenplay by Neil Gaiman & Roger Avary.

Gameplay: Beowulf the Movie Board Game uses Reiner Knizia's Kingdoms gameplay across three boards with new icons that alter the flow of the game.

In Beowulf the Movie Boardgame, players may either choose to place a figure on an empty space on the board currently used or draw and play a tile from their hand. Once all spaces on a board are filled, scoring occurs.

Players win or lose Saga points depending on the location of their figures and all the points horizontally and vertically radiating from the figure (multiplied by the figure's strength). As such, placement of tiles to reduce and aid your opponents and your own figures is very important in Beowulf. Once a board is finished, play continues until all three Ages (boards) are completed.
