About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare for an epic clash across the Nine Worlds in Mythic Battles: Ragnarök! Here, you step into the shoes of powerful Norse divinities, commanding armies in a final war that will decide the fate of all. As gods, mortals, giants, and the undead face off in titanic battles, mysterious fire runes emerge, offering primordial power to those who dare wield it. The Bifrost Bridge has fallen, isolating Odin in Asgard and plunging Midgard into chaos of cosmic proportions. Can the Aesir and Vanir save existence from total destruction, or will chaos reign supreme? Mythic Battles: Ragnarök can be played as a quick, direct confrontation (skirmish) or as an epic saga, with multiple scenarios and campaigns unfolding over time. Featuring stunning miniatures, immersive game boards, and a card and dice system that dictates combat, the fun is guaranteed. The 'draft' mechanic (open drafting) allows you to assemble your ideal force, ready for glory. The game requires a good command of the language, as reading the cards is essential for strategy. It's an intense experience for those who enjoy wargames with mythological themes and plenty of action.
