## Description
If you enjoy games where strategy is pure and the fight for territory is intense, Ragnarocks is for you. Designed by Gord! (the mind behind Santorini), the game places you in the heart of Midgard, the center of the world in Norse mythology. Here, you lead a Viking clan with a clear goal: dominate as much land as possible by using runestones to enclose and claim territories.

The dynamics are elegant and straightforward. On each turn, you perform two actions: move one of your Vikings in a straight line for any distance and then summon a runestone at any point along that path. The 'magic' happens when you manage to completely enclose an area. If the enclosed space contains only Vikings from your clan, congratulations: that land is now yours!

For those who find the basic game too simple, there is an advanced mode. In this version, your clan worships powerful beings from other realms, who grant special abilities to disrupt your opponent's plans and ensure your land claims are successful. It's the kind of game that looks simple at first glance but requires a keen eye to prevent your opponent from closing a massive perimeter right in front of you. Matches are fast, competitive, and visually charming, blending Viking brutality with the precision of an abstract strategy game. Who will hold the most influence in Midgard when the dust settles?
