Gates of Niflheim

Prepare for an epic adventure in *Gates of Niflheim*, where the Viking past collides with the Christian present in an unexpected way! An ancient Norse tomb, sealed to contain an ancestral evil, is disturbed by the construction of a monastery. The result? A dangerous Viking spirit awakens, threatening to escape into the mortal world through the gates of Niflheim. To make matters worse, this supernatural threat unites unlikely allies: Viking warriors and Christian church heroes must set aside their differences to face the danger plaguing the region.

This game utilizes the innovative *Paths Unknown* system, which blends the action of a dungeon crawler with the immersion of 'choose your own adventure' books. Forget giant tables full of components! Here, the adventure unfolds in a spiral-bound book that lies open on the table. The left page presents the rules and story of your current location, while the right reveals the map where your miniature moves and fights.

The beauty of *Paths Unknown* lies in its non-linear nature. The exit you choose on one page leads you to a new one, with unique challenges and rewards. You might find new items, gain skills, and even recruit companions for your journey. *Gates of Niflheim* is the third adventure in this system, swapping World War II zombies for Viking legends and mythical horror. It's a cooperative experience for 1 to 2 players, with quick games lasting 20 to 60 minutes, ideal for those who enjoy a good story with a tactical touch and moderate complexity.
