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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game unfolds over three rounds, each divided into four phases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Phases of Each of the 3 Rounds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRound Set-Up:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distribute Treasure Tokens among the Realms, and refill the Artefact Cards lineup.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement Phase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Players take turns placing two Army Tokens face down in a Realm of their choice. This continues until each player has placed a set amount of Army Tokens. Once all tokens are placed, they are revealed simultaneously, allowing everyone to see their opponents’ strategies.\u003cbr\u003eAction 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection Phase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003eAt the end of each round, you’ll receive an Artefact 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 Artefact Cards, creating a strategic choice between immediate points or future bonuses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScoring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the third round, points from collected Treasure Tokens are tallied, and bonus points for completed Artefact Cards are added.
