A card game based on Nordic Mythology where the players are the Jarls fighting each other in pursuit for prestige. In Midgard Card Game the players try assemble their military power by making troops (same kind) or batallions (sequences) to conquest domains in the nine worlds connected by Yggdrasil. Each world has his own difficult levels and rewards in gold or victory points. Players should choose from various small victories or few legendary deeds to acumulate more victory points. Each player has to "open" their tableu based on current world's level of difficult. After that, he/she can use another player's cards to clear his hand. There are Aesir Cards acting as wild cards or special effects used to slow down another Jarls and Elite Cards to speed up the hand management. Gold coins may be used as an currency to influence more warriors (cards) or as end game victory points.
