Description

The King hears of a fantastic treasure on an unknown island. He sends many warriors and villagers to find it. A massive storm sinks most of the fleet, and two longboats make it ashore.

In Skalds Song, you are the King. Through the visions of your magical skald you direct your people's battles from across the sea, and send help when your power allows. Lead several squads of up to six heroes across the island, find survivors and loot, and hold the camp on Dragon Day, when the Dragon Lord's army comes. The whole game is told as the skald's song.

Features

  • Lead several squads of up to six heroes at once
  • Explore an island of named places that stay unknown until a squad reaches them
  • Battles use hidden dice: watch them card by card, or hear them told as a tale
  • Eight hero classes, four Norse and four Celtic
  • A home base with buildings that train, heal, bless and equip heroes
  • Dragon Day: a final siege in waves, with the Dragon Lord at the end
