In Viking Route, a cooperative game for 1 to 4 players, a group of heroes sail a magical Drakkar to the World’s Edge and beyond.

Helga Huntild, Queen of the Sigrid clan.

Who are these heroes?

Helga Huntild

Born with an aptitude for leadership, since she was a little girl she has always been determined, stern, stoic. Now that she is the Queen of the Sigrid clan, she knows that it is her responsibility to avert Ragnarök, to allow her people to survive and prosper.

Her motto is “if you want to eat, you must hunt.”

Urwulf Trygvel, the warrior.

Urwulf Trygvel

The illegitimate son of the King of the Gromskreem clan, he lives for battle and feeds on adrenaline! Urwulf is considered among the strongest war leaders to have ever lived.

His motto is: “Every man seeks a glorious death in battle to rise again in Valhalla… so I’m just here to help!”

Astrid Revnar, the oracle-princess.


Astrid Revnar

Raised in the caves of the Morugban clan, where, at the age of three, she started learning the divinatory arts from the wise old women of her tribe, like all oracle-princesses before her. Astrid is endowed with once-in-a-lifetime powers, but her rebellious nature makes it a struggle to control them.

Her motto is: “Not every storm that shakes the sea will turn the tides against your ship.

Kuba, expert on plants and the magical arts.

Kuba

He is the last survivor of the Yrsa forest-shrine, which was burned down by Loki, killing his entire race. An expert on plants and the magical arts, Kuba has always been devoted to the great spirit and the constant search for inner peace.

His motto is: “Grrrow,” which, in Yrsidian, means: “I don’t fear death nor life, I welcome the Spirit.”


The Vikings will be available as Standees in the standard retail edition of the game and as miniatures in the exclusive Kickstarter edition.

Every hero has four characteristics: Special Ability, Combat, Life Points, and Inventory.

The four Vikings in the standard retail edition.

Combat
The number of dice rolled in a Combat Action.

Life Points
They better not go down to zero!

Inventory
