About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever felt like your Viking army needed a little 'extra push' to dominate the map? That's where the Mountain Giant comes in. This expansion, which originated as an exclusive Kickstarter Stretch Goal, brings a towering miniature of a mountain giant to your table—a literal monster on the battlefield. But don't be fooled; he's not just an expensive piece of plastic.
The Mountain Giant operates strategically. He comes with his own card, which is added to your Age 1 deck. The key advantage is that, despite his colossal size, he is mechanically treated as a leader. This means you can invade with him for free, saving precious resources, and most importantly: he benefits from all the Leader Upgrades you apply to your clan. Imagine the devastation a giant with combat upgrades can cause in your opponents' ranks!
For those who already own Blood Rage and want to add more layers of power and, of course, more detailed plastic to their collection, this giant is the right choice. He alters the area control dynamics, forcing other players to rethink their positions when they see this mass of muscle approaching. It's the perfect piece for those who love to instill fear and dominate the scene with brute force, turning Age 1 into a true Norse massacre. If you're looking for that centerpiece that catches everyone's eye the moment they look at the table, the Mountain Giant delivers in spades.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game to use the Giant?
Absolutely! This is an expansion and doesn't work standalone; you need the Blood Rage base game.
Is it hard to play?
Not at all, the complexity is low. He follows the same logic as the game's leaders, so if you know the base game, you're good to go.
Does the giant enter at any stage of the game?
No, his card is specifically added to your Age 1 deck.
Is he stronger than normal leaders?
Yes, he is a 'behemoth', but the biggest advantage is the free invasion and the ability to receive leader upgrades.
Where can I get this since it was a Kickstarter exclusive?
Currently, you'll have to hunt through second-hand sites or specialized stores that might still have old stock.
