About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to dive into Norse mysticism with Il canto delle Völur, a cooperative interpretation and deduction game that puts you in the role of a völur, the wise seeresses capable of deciphering signs and visions. Inspired by the ancient practice of Seiðr, this game for 2 to 5 players challenges your intuition and teamwork. Each round, one player acts as the Guide, using rune dice to convey clues. But it's not just what's on the face of the die that matters; the color, the shape of the rune, and its traditional meaning are just the beginning. The real magic happens in how the dice are arranged! Their position and arrangement create connections, contrasts, groups, and sequences, adding layers of meaning to the message. The other völur must observe the vision as a whole, discuss the multiple possible interpretations, and combine their insights to uncover the secret word the Guide is trying to communicate. It's a unique experience of non-verbal communication and collective reasoning, where player synergy is fundamental to success.
