Asgard's Chosen - Coming In September

If all goes according to plan, Mayfair Games will release the new boardgame Asgard's Chosen in September. Asgard's Chosen is a game for 1 - 4 players, ages 12 and up. It was designed by Morgan Dontanville and plays in about 90 minutes or less. With a MSRP of $42.00, the game will include a solitaire variation and a two-player cooperative version.

Players in Asgard's Chosen take the role of Teutonic Lords at the end of the Bronze Age whose goal is to ensure the prosperity and continuation of their family line. To do this, the players must appease their gods, who will in turn grant them favors in the form of controlling creatures (see that flying dragon burning the viking ship?) and aiding your goals in other ways.

The game box will contain:

• 1 Start Player Tile
• 9 Land Tiles
• 8 Hero Pieces (1 each of male and female in player color)
• 4 Hero Tiles (1 each of male and female)

• 10 City Tiles
• 36 Control Markers (9 for each player color)
• 2 Player Aids (two sided: Sequence of Play & Gods Appeasement)
• 180 cards
• Rules booklet.

Mythender: Kick Ass, Erase Names!

On the other side of this bloodied snowy plain stands Thor, God of Thunder and Mythic Norden’s warmaster. His thousands of einherjar charge at you and your two comrades. Mortals watch from the distance, unable to turn their gaze away from the oncoming storm. As the horde charges, you let out a bellow that drowns them all out, shaking the very earth beneath their feet. Armed with your sword, loyal wolf companion, and your wits, you and your friends dive into the fray.

It’s pitiful. These fuckers don’t stand a chance. You’re a goddamned Mythender!

Mythender is a roleplaying adventure game about stabbing gods in the face and sundering every mythic being until there’s none left. It’s a game about power and temptation, as you are constantly in danger of being the very gods you’re Ending–and when that happens, your friends will End you.

This free–yes, free!–game is for three to five people, and a session takes around four hours from character creation to slaughtering a god. It takes place in a heavy metal take on mythic Scandinavia, known as Mythic Norden, but Mythenders can End gods anywhere!
