A queen was transformed into the central rock structure. I also combined the rooks & pawns from both sets to get myself enough troll & dwarf units, respectively. I bought two cheap chess sets and repainted one of the boards from 8×8 to 13×13, as seen above. I was now struck by the urge to try to do the same, and to help with the testing (& because it felt like a cool and fun thing to do) I decided to build myself a Thud board & the necessary pieces. I had noticed years ago that some people on boardgamegeek (iirc) had tried to construct rules for Thud. The book lays out some basic rules and features of the game, but leaves out a lot. The story didn’t grip me all that much the first time around, but now I’ve grown to appreciate it quite a bit more.Īnyhoo, the book features a fictitious boardgame called Thud. I’m a huge fan of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels, and have recently been leafing through his book, Thud!, again.
