About the game
In Battle of Gods, the fate of the world hangs in the balance as champions of Norse mythology clash in a fast-paced arena battle game for 2-4 players. Whether you prefer all-against-all or team-based showdowns, the choice is yours. Take command of legendary figures such as Thor, Freyja, Surtr, or Hyrrokkin, and battle your way to claim the title as the most glorious champion or the last one standing. Each champion boasts a unique array of abilities, from Freyja’s elegant Feather Cloak to Surtr’s blazing sword, activated through the power of strategic dice rolls. Throughout the game, you’ll have the chance to permanently enhance your champion with powerful card boosts or strategically hoard cards for game-changing moments that can tip the balance of power in your favor. But beware, as your hard-earned glory and fragile life force must be guarded, for rivals may seek to seize your hard-fought victories. Only the mightiest and most cunning warriors will emerge victorious. So, champions, are you ready to enter the arena? —description from the publisher
