## Description
Hey folks! Ready to invoke the power of Asgard on your tabletop? Thor, a cool reimagining of games like Botswana, throws you into the middle of a divine stock market. Instead of companies, you'll be investing in cards of Norse Gods, each with its fluctuating value. Each round, you play a value card to try and grab the stocks that interest you most, hoping their value will rise. The trick is that only the last card played for each God counts, so timing is everything!

The game shines for being super accessible, with rules that are easy to grasp, but with that hint of strategy that makes us think. It's perfect for those who enjoy card games with a touch of economics and speculation, but without the complexity. The fact that it accommodates up to 6 players is a plus, ideal for gathering your group. And to add extra spice, Thor comes with 14 action cards that can turn the game in your favor, adding unexpected twists. If you like Norse mythology and want a quick, fun game with a different twist, Thor might be your new favorite. It's the kind of game where you play one round and immediately want to play another!
