Tollund
At a Glance
Iron Age, Impossible Choices
The crops have failed and your village is starving. The gods demand a sacrifice to restore the fields. You have been chosen… but you must be willing. You will be given four days to determine if you accept or not. Your fate lies in the black waters of the bog, but not yet. Use your remaining time to make final preparations, talk to loved ones, and consider your decision. The choice is yours.
Inspired by the Tollund Man of Denmark, Tollund is a 60-page solo journaling game about impossible choices in Iron Age Northern Europe.
It’s a journaling game, but one in which each decision pushes the scales one direction or the other. The final result is an accumulation of many tiny choices over time, rather than a singular decision.
A standard deck of playing cards and 13+ tokens are required to play.
Content Warning & Player Safety
Tollund explores mature themes inspired by Iron Age history involving death, grief, starvation, loss, animal violence, and ritual human sacrifice.
