how to play

Each player will be assigned a role at random by picking one card. Their roles must be hidden from rest of the players. From now on, everyone is a Viking.

Game Master will explain each role to clarify any possible misunderstandings and answer all the questions.

The game begins with Game Master announcing the beginning of the Long Night and all Vikings will close their eyes.

Game master will announce that WEREWOLVES open their eyes and players with the werewolf role will recognize each other. Together they are the team and they will try to protect each other during the trial and attempt to devour all of the vikings during upcoming nights. Communicating with eyes they will pick a victim and after game master will confirm the chosen player, werewolves will go back to sleep by closing their eyes.

Game master will announce one by one, each of the Gods to open their eyes and perform their special abilities. Some during the Long night only, others during each of the turns or triggered by situation.

After the Long Night is over, game master will announce the sunrise and the day will begin with the discovery of the gruesome menagerie - one of the Vikings has been torn into pieces. It is time to find the guilty one. Vikings will begin to search for the signs in each other. Is someone having itchy neck, or nervously tapping their fingers on the table, maybe shifting eyes or unsure grin will give away the beast.. but someone will have to pay.

As the vikings are getting ready to make a decision, on count of Game Master, everyone will point out at the Viking they think is guilty. The player with highest number of accusers will have a chance to make a defense and maybe change the mind of the tribe. If chosen to be eliminated, the players' card will be reveled and we will find out if it was a werewolf or terrible mistake has been made and innocent Dengr or even one of the Gods have met their end.

The day is over and the night will begin and everyone will close their eyes.

Under guidance of the Game Master, werewolves will wake up again and perform yet another killing. After they will return to sleep, Gods will perform their special abilities and so, night after night, the killings will continue. Day after day, Vikings will eliminate a suspect until all the werewolves are ruled out.. or all the Vikings have been eaten by the beasts.

Game Master

The guide, the storyteller and the overseer of the game. By the hands of the Game Master the evening will be created.

Dengr

Brave but ordinary Viking. There are several Vikings in the group. During the night they sleep, during the day they throw accusations, vote or defend themselves if they have become suspects. The highest honor for the viking is to hunt down the werewolf

werewolf

The beast, waking up during the night hungry, devouring one of the Vikings. Hunted, werewolf must conceal their identity during the day by pretending they are simple Viking, and attempt to kill all of the Vikings

odin, the wise one, allfather

Odin has traded his eye for ability to see the future. During each night, Odin will open his foreseeing eye and peak into the card of any viking, finding out their true identity.

In his search for the werewolves he must act carefully - if the werewolves will find out who is Odin, they will surely devour him at the very first opportunity.

freya, the godess of love

Freya, the goddess of love and lust, passion and devotion, magic and war, will open her eyes during the Long Night only.

She will choose two Vikings without knowing their roles, it could be two Dengrs or Werewolf and Odin, only time will tell. Those vikings will become lovers. Only lovers and Freya will know who they are.

Lovers

Chosen by Freya during the Long Night, lovers will open their eyes after Freya will return to sleep and recognize each other.

From now on, Lovers, without knowing their roles will have to protect each other with their own lives. They may not accuse or do any harm at all to their loved one. If one Lover would die, the other one will follow voluntarily into the death.

Thor, the god of thunder

Thor, armed with Mjölnir, his magical hammer, the strongest of the Gods is known for his short temper for giants, ogres, trolls and... werewolves.

If Thor would die during the night, devoured by werewolves or voted out by vikings, he will take someone with him into underworld by throwing his hammer at one of the vikings, hoping to get werewolf.

Heimdal, the watcher

Heimdall needs less sleep than a bird, he hears the grass growing and sees beyond horizon during daylight and in complete darkness.

During the usual nights, while werewolves are out hunting, heimdall can dear to peek and catch the werewolves in action, yet if he is spotted by enemy, there will be no mercy and most likely heimdall won`t see the sunrise

Idun, the godes of youth

idun is guardian of the apples of youth. Without her apples even Gods will wither and die of old age.

During the usual nights, Idun can choose to give the apple of youth to save the viking who has been devoured by werewolves early in the game or wait till the end to make the best play. She can even save herself if she`s become prey. But if lynched by tribe, her apple will perish with her. There is only one apple available for the whole game.
