The Kelpie is a legendary horse of Scottish folklore. It also has connections to some areas of Yorkshire, including the Strid near Bolton Abbey. This tabletop miniatures game takes inspiration from the mythological horse trying to drown a group of Villagers crossing a river. This is the solo version of this game, so only the Villagers are playable. There is also a two-player version. The Villagers attempt to cross the river unmolested until they fail a River test. At which point, the Kelpie is summoned and attempts to drag them to their doom. Kelpie is a 2-page skirmish game of risk and reward, and it plays in under 30 minutes.
