You are Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr, the two monstrous immortal goats pulling Thor’s chariot. The god of thunder has been feasting on your flesh for aeons, simply killing you when he is hungry. You have risen again and again.*

Having been caught in this bloody cycle of godly slaughter and resurrection for so long, it is all but impossible to imagine a time without death.
Today you resolved to take hold of your own destiny and taste the green grass of mortality: It is time to kill a god!

*This is the actual story of the mythical goats

Game overview

One player is Odin, the narrator of the cosmos and father of Thor. They are the game master. The other two players are Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr trying to kill Thor.
[Little side note here: Since Thor is often depicted with a swastika rune and the Nazis loved the Nordic gods, there's a case to be made that the two goats actually wanna kill the OG fascist...please do not debate me on this dear myth-heads]
If you want to play with more than 2 characters, you can include the primeval cow Auðumbla or one of the staggs Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr or Duraþrór. You’ll have to come up with your own revenge plot for them though...

You need a handful of d6s, one d10 and a token.

This game uses original material from Grant Howitt's game "Fucked up little man" & his goat games.

The game was made for Grant Howitt's "One Hundred One Page Games" jam and incorporates a theme for the "Folklore game jam".

Human made

Please consider paying for this game. Making games is a lot of work and everything in "Goats of thunder: Killing Thor" has been created by a human with dreams, hopes and bills. Thank you.
