Overview

In Blood Rage, players control Viking clans battling for glory as Ragnarok approaches. The game unfolds over three ages, each beginning with a card draft that provides players with strategic advantages: clan upgrades, battle tactics, and quests. Use your limited rage each turn to invade territories, pillage lands, summon mythical creatures, and fulfill quests to earn victory points.

Battles are resolved through simultaneous card selection, forcing players to anticipate their opponents' moves and choose their actions wisely. Careful resource management, strategic alliances (or betrayals), and cunning card play are essential to leading your clan to victory before the world ends.
