Lords of Ragnarok review

Lords of Ragnarok is a strategic board game that offers a unique and exciting experience. It's a spiritual successor to Lords of Hellas, but with a twist. The game takes place over 120 minutes and features 1-4 players competing to be the ultimate victor in a war.

What I really enjoyed about Lords of Ragnarok was the asymmetric heroes and their unique armies. Each hero has their own strengths and weaknesses, and the game forces you to think strategically about how to use your abilities to your advantage. I also loved the fact that there are multiple victory conditions. This keeps the game exciting and unpredictable, and it really forces you to think on your feet.

The game is well-balanced, and I found myself enjoying the different actions that I could take, such as building monuments, hunting monsters, ravaging the lands, and gathering armies and artifacts. The gods grant you blessings that significantly impact the game, and the runes give you additional bonuses that can really help you dominate your opponents. I especially enjoyed the runes that let you control deadly monsters!

Overall, Lords of Ragnarok is a great game that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys strategy board games. It's a challenging and rewarding experience, and I can't wait to play it again!
