Three Berserkers without virtue are commissioned by King Hrolf Kraki to annihilate the will of hell. The three warriors are preparing to light the protective fires of Odin and mark these riders of doom with the sacred seal... Your objective is to light the 8 protective fires of Odin and mark the three Shadow Riders with the sacred seal. To light the sacred fires, you will have to move your Berserkers and position them on the corresponding Location cards, then perform the “Light a protective fire” Action. To mark the Horsemen with the shadow of the sacred seal, you must perform the Action "Mark with the Seal" the Horsemen who are on a Location card that contains a lit fire. But that's not all, to win the game you will also have to pass the King's Requests. The more King Requests you draw during setup, the more gold you will start the game with.
