"Beowulf is Knizia doing what
he does best – an auction game, but one with depth, and
variety, and fun, and like Lord of the Rings, wedded to a good
theme." Chris Farrell RPGnet
Paramount Pictures will release a major movie
of Beowulf in 2007 (our board game has no connection to the movie,
being based on the book). It will be a name on everyone's lips.
Distributed by Fantasy Flight Games in the USA, Esdevium in the
UK and Kosmos in Germany.
