Champions of Midgard Strategy Board Game for 2-4 Players, Ages 10 and Up

This is such a great game! I love worker placement games, but sometimes they can just feel a bit dry and dull. Put worker there and get resource. There is little risk or excitement because the outcome is guaranteed. CoM really combines great worker placement mechanics with the risk of dice rolling combat - and imo it does it very well, balancing the risk and bad rolls, with chance for reroll and using rune cards to turn the tide of combat. People say the expansion Valhalla is a must, I personally havent played with either expansions, and I think the game is great on its own. Sometimes you do get a really bad combat roll which will set you back quite a few points - this is sometimes game changing. Valhalla aims to balance this, however I dont think its absolutely needed. It's quite a complex game for people to understand at first, just because of the shear number of worker placement, combat and card options. However from our experience by round 2 people have grasped the basic mechanics and enjoy the rest of the game. I imagine Valhalla and Dark Mountains add yet more options that for a 1st play through would be a bit overwhelming for new players.

Love this game. I have purchased a few games lately and have enjoyed them all and Champions of midgard is one of them. I love the theme combined with the worker placement but then throw in the randomness of dice rolls and you have a really fun, easy to play game. Cannot recommend this game highly enough. Love Lords of Waterdeep but this game just adds that random groan/gloat moments that make this game more likely to get played plus it has far more theme and atmosphere than LOW.

Great game

A fantastic board game that is a step up from Lord of Waterdeep. if you loved that game then you're going to enjoy this with all of the extra gameplay elements it brings into play.

Nice test your luck worker placement game, The characters feel well balanced even when I tried to break the game it had ways of putting me back, the risk of going out to see is done beautifully, though bit sad encountering a monster with the dice type on it kills them instead of not being able to use them, a bit harsh but you can make those back easily.

Been trying to get a hold of this game for ages. Saw it finally back in stock and ordered. Then discovered its advertised further down as the language being 'Polish'. Went to cancel, but was too late. BUT was pleasantly surprised to discover it was in 'English'! Checked Q&A section and the seller states they've been in contact with Amazon, but amazon has failed to sort this error out. As for the game itself - its brand new, came the next day wrapped in cellophane. Been wanting this game cause i've enjoyed other worker placements like 'Stone Age' so this will be a nice little twist on it with combat involved also. It's easy enough for me to learn as I play a lot of these types of games, but could be trickier for those new to worker placement with the added combat element.

Arrived on time, well packaged. Great game, though the board doesn’t seem amazing. Mid fold the rub together and split. That’s a design fault

Very fast delivery and great boarding game... Thank you

Emballage honteux. Aucune protection du produit, carton trop petit. Je ne commanderai plus ce type d'article chez Amazon. La boite de jeu est cisaillée sur 2 arêtes. Pour un jeu à 50 €, ca fait mal au coeur....

Always enjoy to play.

Es un eurotrash donde las mecánicas cazan perfecto con la temática. Es un must si te gusta la colocación de trabajadores. Y si te gustan los vikingos es GENIAL. Lo agarré en descuento (me parece que 800 o 900) y además llegó antes de lo esperado en excelente estado. Gran compra! Sólo tres detalles que no me encantaron: El reglamento no está muy bien redactado (tuve que buscar en internet una edición revisada y ver varios videos tutoriales) así que es un poquitín tardado de aprender. Por otro lado creo que los enemigos se vencen demasiado fácil: con máximo 3 de daño ya acabaste con ellos. Creo que los combates deberían ser más retadores. Por último, siento que los recursos podrían ser mejorcitos (madera y carne son simples cuadritos cafés y rojos; monedas, favores y culpa son piezas de cartón), aunque eso aumentara un poco el precio, lo valdría. Lo que yo haré es “tunear” mi juego para hacer los recursos más realistas. En FB hay quien te los puede hacer con resina.

Champions of Midgard is my favorite game featuring my favorite board game mechanic, worker placement. This is a good game to use for teaching worker placement to new gamers, but should be reserved for when they start to transition into more complicated games. That’s not to say the game is complicated. For experienced gamers, the mechanics and rules will be easy to comprehend and pick up. Thematically, the game ties in well with the worker placement mechanic. On your turn you will choose a specific wp spot in your Viking village based on the strategy you are pursuing to become the next chief of your village. One of the strategies involves fighting mythical monsters and trolls using beautiful custom dice representing different types of warriors that range from more offensive to more defensive. Cards and wooden meeples are high quality. There are upgrade kits available to make the game more immersive. The Valhalla and Dark Mountains expansion really make the game sing. I highly recommend this if you like the Viking theme or like worker placement or dice chucking in your games.

The game is interesting and fun. Instructions and board prompts make it easy to learn. The 8 rounds per game help you learn by through repetition. Lot's of different strategies can be tried to add variations to the game. It can be fast moving depending on how fast the players make decisions.
