Description
A battle-slain warrior, the Valkyries have ferried your soul to Valheim, the tenth Norse world. Besieged by creatures of chaos and ancient enemies of the gods, you are the newest custodian of the primordial purgatory, tasked with slaying Odin's ancient rivals and bringing order to Valheim.
Explore
A beautiful, procedurally-generated world awaits you. Venture into deep dark forests, climb snow-peaked mountains and marvel at lush valleys. Take to the seas on a mighty longship, but be wary of sailing too far....
Build
Raise your own viking mead halls, houses, castles, and more with our powerful construction interface. From knarrs to imposing warships, build legendary vessels to conquer the seas and discover new lands.
Conquer
Battle the mythical beasts of the tenth world and animal wildlife in punishing dodge & block based combat.
Craft
Forge increasingly powerful weapons and armour as you advance. Craft food and mead to maintain your health.
Survive
From the highest mountain peak to the deepest swamp, each environment presents unique challenges and foes.
Cooperate
Valheim supports independent, player-hosted servers and as many worlds as you wish to create, because no one wants to continuously die alone.

- it's an aggressive area control game.
- This expansion is fixing a fundamental flaw of the original game.
- I am salivating at the mouth for this one.
- This game is the theme done justice in tabletop form.

Quotes (from this video)
- March of the Ants is uh from Tim Eisner. So, same guy who did uh Canopy and some guy who did Leaf. Um, and I have talked highly about both of those games. Uh, this one is a reimplementation of an older game, March of the Ants. This is an area control game, quite an aggressive area control game.
- Now, when you put those two things together along with Board of Dice, you usually expect a very complicated, heavy, oh my god, there's so many rules type game.
- The demo did a good job of teasing me, thinking, 'Wow, this game didn't feel that complicated.' It was It was very in-depth.
- This could be one of the better David Turczi games I've played in recent uh you know tried out in recent um years.
- They didn't want to just make it White Castle with two players because to be honest, White Castle worked best as a two-player game.
- This is a two-player area control game um where basically you have followers, dudes on the map.
- But it's beautifully produced. You got these translucent dice, these lovely artwork cards, these wooden followers.
- Yes. Sorry, there is a spider on one of these pictures. I didn't see that coming, but uh I've seen scarier spiders, but still

Quotes (from this video)

Quotes (from this video)
- I want to know what they're doing for the seven to 10 players though. If they're literally just giving you more chips and cards so you Yeah, if if all it is is just they're giving you more chips and saying, 'Now you can play it with 10.' That's rubbish. That's BS, okay? Because the game just fundamentally wouldn't work.
- The thing that has me worried though is this 120 to 180 minutes. Is this a game that warrants two to three hours though?
- The game is basically just area control cubes. That to me doesn't scream out crazy fun.
- Deep Regrets is one of the worst games I've ever played, so screw that for a game of toy soldiers.
- I think we've hit that peak of board gaming and now it's mostly a kind of downhill slope for gaming because we've now seen everything that can be kind of done. We're now recycling ideas.
- Board games are getting to a point where we are seeing the same stuff all the time and it just means that it's hard to get excited for another convention.
- UK Games Expo is mostly just recycling stuff that we've already reviewed at a few months ago in which case I don't need to look at it again.
