About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! If you're a fan of 'Midgard: The Card Game' and looking for more Viking challenges, 'Desafio das Runas' is the perfect expansion! This pack doesn't just throw a bunch of new runes your way; it introduces a brand-new game mode: cooperative/competitive. Now, instead of just battling the clock, you'll team up to unravel runic mysteries and control the magic across the Nine Worlds. It's a race against time where every challenge you conquer might just speed up the game's end! But hey, even while working together, there's still that friendly rivalry to see who racks up the most Renown and claims the title of ultimate Jarl once the runes are defeated. It's the ideal expansion to inject extra excitement into the base game, blending cooperative strategy with a dash of competition. If you enjoy card games with a Norse theme and thought-provoking mechanics, this expansion is sure to win you over!
