About this board game

Shadows of Brimstone: Gates of Valhalla is a 1–4 player adventure game with an approximately 180-minute play time, casting players as Viking heroes exploring the icy Norse Lands and the frozen alien ruins of Targa Plateau.

Choose from four distinct Viking heroes: the stalwart Jarl Chieftain, the shield-and-axe-wielding Raider, the bloodthirsty Berserker, or the honor-bound Huscarl, who fires her Viking Bow before charging into battle. Together, the heroes face snarling beasts and mythological creatures empowered by the dangerous force of Dark Stone.

The Norse Lands are filled with formidable enemies. Trolls regenerate from even grievous wounds while throwing stones and attacking with brutal claws. Gremians swarm their foes, while robotic Centurions defend themselves with power swords and shields. The colossal Frost Giant can smash heroes with a tree-trunk club before charging across the battlefield in a furious frenzy.

Gates of Valhalla also expands the Targa Plateau OtherWorld, first introduced in the City of the Ancients Core Set. Heroes can explore the Library, an ancient alien city frozen and abandoned for millennia, where awakened robotic constructs defend the icy halls. This new region adds map tiles, encounters, artifacts, world abilities, and enemies.

  • Four Viking Heroes and three Viking Warrior Allies
  • 12 Gremian, 6 Centurion, 3 Troll, and 1 Frost Giant miniatures
  • Three Targa Librarian miniatures
  • Dice, map tiles, cards, a rulebook, and reference sheets

Whether venturing through the Norse Lands or uncovering the secrets of Targa’s Library, Shadows of Brimstone: Gates of Valhalla brings Viking heroes, frozen wilderness, alien technology, and mythological danger to the table.
