Description

In Blood Rage, players take on the role of Viking clan leaders, seeking to go down in a blaze of glory as the world ends in Ragnarök. With 60 to 90 minutes to secure their places in Valhalla, they must invade, pillage, and battle their way to victory. Each game round, or Age, begins with a draft of "Gods' Gifts" cards, which grant boons and quests to guide their strategies. These cards, aligned with Norse gods like Thor and Loki, offer rewards for victory, strength in battle, or even clever losses. Players must adapt and react to their opponents' moves, using secret card play to decide battles. With normal complexity rules, 2 to 4 players can easily learn and dive into the action. Will you emerge victorious, or die gloriously in battle, securing your place at Odin's side? The choice is yours in Blood Rage.
