About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already a fan of Divinus, get ready to dive even deeper into its roots with Divinus: Shadow of Yggdrasil. This isn't just some extra content; we're talking about an epic prequel campaign that takes you back to the very beginning. Imagine stepping into the shoes of four powerful deities from the Norse Pantheon and facing destiny head-on.

The journey consists of eight distinct scenarios where the narrative isn't just background noise—it's something you shape with your own choices. The atmosphere is thick with tension as you attempt to uncover and fight the sinister shadows lurking beneath the roots of the legendary Yggdrasil. It’s that feeling of being a god, but carrying the weight of decisions that could shift the course of mythological history.

Mechanically, the game keeps the dynamic pace we love. You'll balance luck and strategy through dice rolling, but don't be fooled: luck alone won't save you. Asymmetry is a major highlight here, as each player controls a god with unique powers, ensuring no two players experience the game the same way. Additionally, the variable setup ensures that even when revisiting the same scenario, the board and challenges present different nuances. It's an invitation to gather your friends, sit at the table, and live out a Norse mythology tale where danger lurks in every shadow of the world tree.
