Champions of Midgard: The Dark Mountains

Champions of Midgard: The Dark Mountains is the first and boldest expansion for the classic Viking adventure game. It takes your hero squad beyond the kingdom’s borders into the Dark Mountains where the fearsome Bergrisar dwell and clash with the Northern Archer Clans. The atmosphere thickens with new monsters—stone giants, stronger trolls, and sinister Draugr—and a treasure trove of rune cards, market tiles, and combat options that raise the stakes. The game still blends dice rolling, open drafting, and set collection, but now each player can choose from more than five characters, each with unique powers that shift play styles. Worker placement remains, but you can also deploy heroes on exploration missions, earning victory points by conquering territories or freeing archers who become loyal allies. If you love the adventure and combat vibe of Champions of Midgard, Dark Mountains expands the fun without losing its core. The playtime rises slightly, but the extra player count and new strategic layer make it worth it.
