At a recent feast, the Norse Gods and Goddesses once again found themselves in a lively argument about who among them is the greatest war leader. To settle the dispute, Mimir, the wise and all-knowing advisor, presented them with a challenge. In Mimir's Challenge, you take on the role of a Norse God or Goddess, striving to gather treasures and resources to earn the highest score.

Each player commands an identical army composed of Vikings, Valkyries, Wyrms, and Ravens. The game unfolds over three rounds, each divided into three distinct phases:


Placement Phase: Players take turns placing one Army Token face down in a Realm of their choice. This continues until each player has placed seven tokens. Once all tokens are placed, they are revealed simultaneously, allowing everyone to see their opponents’ strategies.



Action Phase: If any Valkyrie, Wyrm, or Raven tokens are in play, players take turns deciding which token to activate and how to use its unique ability. These abilities can influence the game by moving Army tokens or Treasure tokens between Realms, creating dynamic shifts in the competition.



Collection Phase: In each Realm, the player with the most Vikings gets the first pick of the Treasure tokens. The player with the second-most Vikings chooses next, and this continues until all Treasure tokens in the Realm are claimed. However, watch out for ties—when two or more players tie for the most Vikings, their armies are too busy squabbling to claim any treasures.


At the end of each round, you’ll receive an Item card that serves as a blueprint for crafting one of the legendary Norse artifacts. To craft these items, you’ll need specific materials found on Treasure tokens. While some Treasure tokens offer high point values, others contain the resources needed to complete your Item cards, creating a strategic choice between immediate points or future bonuses.

At the end of the third round, points from collected Treasure tokens are tallied, and bonus points for completed Item cards are added. The player with the highest score wins Mimir's Challenge and earns the title of the greatest war leader across all the Realms!
