About

Clans of Midgard is a draft, write, and fight game in which players play as leaders of Viking clans seeking to gain glory! Conquer territory, fight monsters, sail the seas in your drakkar, collect powerful runes, and honor your warriors who have passed onto Valhalla. The player who best achieves these goals will earn the most glory and be forever remembered as a Hero of the Viking Age! Players are dealt a hand of cards and then draft one of the cards and hand the rest to the player on their left. They continue to do this until they have no more cards. All the players reveal their cards at the same time and then begin marking off their rewards on their sheet. They will collect Viking Runes, defeat monsters, deploy Vikings, and collect the power of the Valkyries. Each card can give multiple effects. Areas of the board will be checked to see if a battle ensues, and the player with the most vikings will claim those areas for bonus points. Players whose vikings fell in battle will travel to Valhalla and will be rewarded for their valor. After three rounds of drafting and writing, the player with the most points will win the game. -description from publisher
