About this board game

Valhalla is a 2018 card game for 1–6 players, played in about 60 minutes, where Jarls build teams of warriors and lead them into battle for a glorious place in the afterlife.

Each player takes the role of a Jarl, assembling a team and equipping its members before the fighting begins. When a battle starts, players roll custom dice and use dice placement to activate their warriors, bringing their abilities into the conflict.

Battle is not only about defeating an opposing force. Players can also use special tactic cards to influence the fight, while the winning party sends its activated warriors to Valhalla. At the end of the game, the player with the most points wins.

  • Build and equip a team of warriors.
  • Roll dice to activate fighters during battles.
  • Play special tactic cards at key moments.
  • Send activated warriors from the winning party to Valhalla.

Valhalla turns the familiar idea of a war game on its head: victory in battle is a way to send your warriors onward, rather than simply keeping them alive. The combination of dice-driven activation, card play, and varied Jarls, warriors, and battle tactics creates an experience filled with uncertainty and tactical choices.

With its custom dice and broad variety of cards and characters, Valhalla offers plenty of replayability. Gather your warriors, prepare them for combat, and strive to earn the most points before the final reckoning.
