In the Name of Odin

The days of the old Jarl were long and prosperous, but soon Lord Odin will come to see his demise, and with it, the rise of a new Jarl. And as he passes on heirless, a path to greatness opens before each of you. So, build your own village, gather your men, recruit famous Vikings, and take to your longships, to sail the seas of the known world.

You are all skilful sailors, shrewd traders and fearsome warriors – but only one of you will sail the farthest, to become the chosen of the Allfather, and only one of you will sit atop the Jarl’s throne to rule in the name of Odin!

In the Name of Odin is a strategic game for 2-5 players. On their turn, players will expend Action Cards to construct new structures in their villages, gather their men, recruit famous Vikings, and buy longships – all of this to go on raids. Each raid will come with its own set of requirements, and a prize in Fame. At Game End, whoever gathers the most Fame will become the new Jarl, a chosen of Odin – and the winner of the game.
