By defeating these terrifying creatures, players accumulate glory and earn the blessing of the gods. The game stands out for its allocation of workers, which allows participants to collect resources and recruit warriors, essential to their adventures. Players can send their warriors to neighboring villages or cross the seas in search of epic battles.

Start by setting up the main board, arranging the Enemy, Fate and Rune cards in their respective spaces. Distribute resource tokens, dice and miniatures as indicated in the manual. Each player chooses a clan board with their leader and places their initial resource tokens, glory tokens and warrior dice.

Each round, players take turns positioning their workers in various locations, such as the Port, to prepare for journeys, or the Forests and Mountains, to collect resources such as food and wood. Choose locations strategically to maximize your actions.

Then carry out combat actions. Roll warrior dice to fight your enemies. Use resources to secure victories and collect glory and rewards. Pay attention to the Fate cards which can change the course of battles in unpredictable ways.

Manage your resources carefully. Use the Port to raid the most distant locations, where the greatest challenges and rewards await. Balance your focus between attacking immediate threats and building a clan capable of withstanding future assaults.

At the end of a fixed number of rounds, calculate victory points from the glories accumulated, runes collected and objectives completed. The player with the highest total is crowned the Champion of Midgard, ensuring fame and honor for their clan.
