Pocket Troll is a tiny portable game for 2 players. The premise is that 3 boys have seen a troll, but no one believes them. The boys have to bring 3 pieces of evidence to the village, while the troll has to get to the village at night (or eat all 3 boys). The game board has only 8 spaces (+2 tunnels), with a den at one end and a village at the other, and is played with tokens and cards.

 

I designed the physical version some time ago, and even did some motion capture for some of the animations, but got sidetracked with Io and other projects. The main task at the moment is redesigning all the game assets for the print version and then finishing the digital version in Unity, as my old version uses some outdated coding techniques that make it less extensible.
