About the game
From the publisher: The north wind blows in from the rugged domains north of Conan's homeland. With Asgard to the east and Vanaheim to the west, these two territories compose the frozen tundra that is Nordheim. The men of these lands are toughest of the tough, hardened by cold and battle. Blood spilling across the pristine snow as different tribes fight for supremacy. Despite the uneasy relationship between the Cimmerians and the Aesirs, Conan earns their respect through strength of arms and embarks on more than one adventure across these glistening lands. Join Conan and his companions as they cross swords with the Vanirs, pursue the Frost-Giant's daughter, do battle with a necromancer defiling the burial grounds of wars past and more in the Third expansion for Conan. Featuring scenarios written by Croc, author of Claustrophobia and many roleplaying games, and his son Sippik! This set contains: Niord, Aesir Hero 5 Aesir warrior allies 10 Vanir warrior Minions Atali, the daughter of Ymir, the frost-giant, Leader Atali's Brothers, 2 frost giant monsters 5 Monstrous Crow minions 1 double sided game board (Frozen battlefield and deep winter forest) 4 scenarios written by Croc and Sippik Token, tiles and Character sheets.

Questions and answers
Conan: Nordheim supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Conan: Nordheim is 60–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Conan: Nordheim for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Conan: Nordheim has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Conan: Nordheim belongs to these categories: Fantasy, Fighting, and Adventure. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Player Elimination, and Area Movement.

The credited designers of Conan: Nordheim are: Frédéric Henry, Croc, and Sippik.
