About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever felt like you've mastered the base game and are craving a fresh challenge? That's exactly where Vikings Gone Wild: Ragnarok! comes in. This expansion shifts the game's dynamic by introducing a cooperative and solo mode that completely changes the table's vibe. Instead of fighting over who is the toughest viking, players must now unite to survive the Norse apocalypse. It's the perfect fit for those who love strategy but prefer the 'us against the world' feeling.

The content is quite robust and focused on expanding the threats. You'll face 18 undead units and 15 haunted buildings that make the players' lives much harder. To spice up the difficulty, the expansion adds 5 powerful bosses, 6 specific tasks, and 8 objectives that guide the campaign's progression. All of this is tied together by the Ragnarok! card and a helper card to streamline the gameplay management.

At the heart of the experience, the deck building, hand management, and bag/pool manipulation mechanics remain, but they are now applied to a survival context. You'll need to plan every move with your partners, deciding who takes which risk to take down the bosses and complete the missions. The vibe remains that blend of medieval mythology with a touch of humor and a video game aesthetic, making the experience light yet tactically rewarding. If you enjoy the viking theme and want to test your strategic reflexes in an end-of-the-world scenario, this expansion is the way to go.
