If I could give this game six stars I would. I played it for 16 hours straight at Carnage last year and felt I only barely scratched he surface.
The presentation is first rate with a unique style of art that really evokes the feeling of period artwork.
The Runic play system is full score for evoking the Viking feel. It provides ever changing tactical engagement and allows players to be involved continually, even when in other rules the character would not be active.
The game is set during the End of the World. A bold move, but one that strongly encourages epic play. This is the saga of heroes, not the story of apprentices gone adventuring. Players are free to choose alliance with either the gods or the giants. Neither is entirely siding with the "good guys" or the "bad guys".
If you like epic tale telling, Vikings, and heroic adventure, this is the game for you.
