Watching the big game? Yeah it's on the tv...

01/28/2019

We're back playtesting with new components and updated rules. Everyone's having a go at being a Norse god!

12/10/2018

Happy holidays everyone! Here's a picture of a recent playtest of Runes of Ragnarok from this weekend.

10/08/2018

Greetings everyone! Apologies for the lack of updates. We feel like we are finally at a point where we can properly plan out a return to KS in the next few months. I won't promise any dates, but we are hoping for early 2019 at this point. We are going to have new prototypes made and get those out to reviewers as soon as possible.

Thank you for your continued support and we hope to see you on KS soon.

07/07/2018

We're back to playtesting this latest iteration of Runes of Ragnarok! The recent changes simplify and streamline the more complicated parts of the game. We're hoping to get a new printing out to reviewers in the next few months. Stay tuned!

03/26/2018

Check out the thumbnails for Jormungandr, the last villain to the Runes of Ragnarok lineup! With an even mix of gods and monsters at the ready, we're getting ever closer to our relaunch. Stay tuned!

03/11/2018

Hey all, sorry for the lack of updates. Illness has plagued or household for the last couple months. We're going to try and get back to fishing the changes to RoR and get new review copies made soon.

Also, the Fenrir art is finished and we will get that to you soon!

02/01/2018

Opinion time! Which art do you prefer for Fenrir, the latest Villain coming to Runes of Ragnarok?

01/30/2018

Runes of Ragnarok is returning March 15th!

But that's not all! This updated version of RoR will feature a fully developed co-op mode where players face off against an advancing army led by one of the villains of Ragnarok!
Two new villains are coming as well! After our recent polls on facebook and twitter, we're introducing Fenrir and Jormungandr!

So stay tuned, mark the date and help us make this game a reality!

01/19/2018

We're looking to expand the pantheon in Runes of Ragnarok as we gear up for our relaunch. Which villain should join Loki and Hel?
1) Fenrir, the wolf that devours the sky.
2) Jormungandr, the serpent that encircles the world and signals the start of Ragnarok.
3) Fafnir, a fierce dragon transformed by the evil ring Andvaranaut.
4) Surtr, King of the fire giants who is set upon destroying the gods.

12/16/2017

Thank you for all of your support. Runes of Ragnarok did not fund this time around, but we will relaunch in early 2018.

A game designer's work is never done. Take a glimpse at our work in progress for the new Player Board redesign. We also tested the new co-op mode for the first time tonight. It worked rather well and was a hard fought battle, but we barely beat the AI.

Are you ready to raise some Hel?

When the ground shook and Yggdrasil began to splinter, heroes were not the only ones to answer the call. The Goddess of the underworld has risen, and she means to take it all.

Introducing our newest playable hero, or rather, villain, Hel. Adding a bit devilish fun to Runes of Ragnarok, Hel brings her own set of unique abilities befitting the Goddess of Death.
