About the game
Sharpen your blades, because the frost of Nordheim is coming to test your grit! If you're already a fan of the Conan universe, this expansion is exactly the fuel you need for your next battles. Forget the familiar battlefields; the setting is now the frozen tundra, split between the territories of Asgard and Vanaheim. The atmosphere is pure survival: the north wind howls, snow is stained with blood, and rival tribes fight desperately for absolute supremacy.

In this third expansion, the adventure gains new layers of depth with scenarios written by none other than Croc (the mastermind behind Claustrophobia) and his son Sippik. This means you aren't just playing; you're living stories! Get ready to face challenges ranging from hunting the Frost-Giant's daughter to battling necromancers desecrating ancient burial grounds.

The content is massive, introducing new heroes like the Aesir warrior Niord, along with a horde of allies and enemies, including terrifying frost giants and monstrous crow minions. It features a double-sided game board, allowing you to switch between frozen battlefields and deep winter forests. With new scenarios and high-quality components, Conan: Nordheim turns the base game into something much more vast and dangerous. It's the kind of content that makes the base game feel like just the beginning of a much larger saga. If you crave epic themes, visceral combat, and a narrative that pulls you deep into Robert E. Howard's world, you've found your match. Conquer Nordheim, or die trying!
