You can’t load up a ship with as much of both you have available – the capacity is fixed and thus so too are the ratios of food to dice. Every die is a new chance to roll hits and shields, so there is never a reason to not add dice to a battle if it’s possible. This product comes with both Champions of Midgard expansions (Valhalla and The Dark Mountains) as well as exclusive content not available at retail, all included inside a box designed to hold everything including the base game.

It feels more human that merely converting cubes into victory points and I can understand why champions of Champion of Midgard will say this is what elevates it over Lords of Waterdeep and other more algorithmic worker placement games. The reliability of retaining troops is considerable – if you roll three dice in a battle and save all your troops, it’s the equivalent of saving yourself a full three actions in the rest of the game. Champions of Midgard (formerly Defenders of Nidaros) is a middleweight, Viking-themed, worker placement game with dice rolling in which players are leaders of Viking clans who have traveled to an embattled Viking harbor town to help defend it against the threat of trolls, draugr, and other mythological Norse beasts. All the components are of good quality and there is even an insert to keep it all in place during travel.The game includes a variety of dice which represent different types of warriors, each with their own boons and banes.

Other than players maybe building their own boat or gradually having more Destiny cards to pursue (goals such as “have the most red monster cards at the end of the game” or “have the most wood the end of the game”), it doesn’t feel like turn seven is fundamentally different than turn two aside from a player’s current resource holdings, and I think this is the biggest weakness of the entire package.
