More Information On The Forthcoming Noggin The Nog Board Game... Nov 6th 2017, 18:00, by noreply@blogger.com (Tim Knight) A very early playtest of The Sagas Of Noggin The Nog Information gleaned from the game's new BoardGameGeek page: 'In the lands of the North, where the Black Rocks stand guard against the cold sea, in the dark night that is very long the Men of the Northlands sit by their great log fires and they tell a tale... ' So began each of the Sagas of Noggin the Nog, in which the crown of Noggin, Prince of the Nogs, is sought by his wicked uncle Nogbad the Bad who devises evil plots to threaten the safety of the kingdom, in order to force Noggin to give up his crown. In this game, players are the noble Lords of the north, looking to assist Noggin, however they can, in his adventures, with resources and wise council. Players use their influence to take actions on the board - which as a back drop is Peter Firmin's classic hand drawn map of the Northlands. The time taken on each action is plotted on a roundel which acts as the game clock, changes the turn order and progresses the seasons. However Nogbad is never far away from the source of the Kingdom's troubles and Noggin must use his cleverness, intuition and resourcefulness to thwart Nogbad and confirm his position as King of the Nogs. The game ends when Noggin secures the crown or if Nogbad manages to get there first. The seasons' roundel In The Sagas of Noggin the Nog, players must work together to successfully complete the text adventures revealed by the saga cards which occur each season. By offering much needed resources and making key decisions that effect the progress of the adventures, players will, if successful add to Noggin's popularity.
