About the game
What you do in a play session
The game unfolds in rounds divided into two phases: Corruption and Hunt. In the Corruption phase, dice determine which Draugr gain power and which locations and townspeople will be corrupted. Keep an eye on the corruption markers appearing on the modular board, as if all townspeople or more than seven cards are corrupted, defeat is certain. In the Hunt phase, you move around the board, using the special abilities of locations and townspeople to gather the necessary resources. The objective is clear: eliminate four of the six Draugr in play. Each slain Draugr brings you closer to victory, but can also alter the board, making the hunt even more challenging. The Draugr offers a tense and quick experience, ideal for those who enjoy a solo challenge with horror and Norse mythology themes, all within about 20 minutes of pure adrenaline.
