How to setup a game:

  1. First choose a side by either going up to File and choosing New Game, or if someone has already created a game, synchronize with them
  2. When prompted choose the appropriate side ( choose solo to be able to use up to 7 Player Boards )
  3. All Player Boards are visible, but you may only interact with your own items
  4. Choose which gods by going to the Pieces Button and go to the Gods Tab. Then draw one of the gods to your hand by dragging and dropping onto your player board. If you are playing solo, repeat this action for each hand you will be playing
  5. You will then need to setup the number of Elves equal to the number of Gods being used plus one. Take them from the Pieces button, and drag them onto the main board. Then drag them to the Elf Stack in Alfheim, or right click and Send to Alfheim. NOTE: One Elf starts in Alfheim
  6. Shuffle the Frost Giant deck by right clicking on it and hitting Shuffle
  7. You will then need to setup the 42 card enemy deck to your desired difficulty
  8. Click the setup button to be taken to the setup board
  9. The decks are divided up by difficulty along the top
  10. Now Shuffle the normal deck, by right clicking on the normal deck and hitting Shuffle
  11. If you want the easiest game: You have already done all the work! Right click again and choose send to main board. You are done with setup, skip down to HOW TO PLAY THE GAME.
  12. If you want a difficult game: Add Angry Enemy cards by dragging each one you want to add off the angry pile into a middle area where you can see which god it is. You will then need to remove a corresponding normal enemy god from the Normal deck by right clicking and choosing "Draw Specific Card". Choose the appropriate god, which will place it on top. You will then need to drag it off the normal pile to the rubbish stack as it will not be used this game. Then drag the corresponding Angry Enemy Card to one of the work decks, ensuring there is only one Special Card per Work Deck. ( EG You want to play with Angry Hel. Drag her Angry card to a work pile. Now Right Click on the Normal Deck and choose "Draw Specific Card" and choose Hel_Normal. Drag it off the Normal Deck and into the Rubbish Deck )
  13. If you want an even more difficult game: Drag a number of Ragnarok-4, which are 4 different Enemy movements on one card, or the Ragnarok-6, which is all six Enemies move, to work decks ensuring that each work deck contains only one special card.
  14. If you want the hardest game: Combine difficult and even more difficult options above
  15. If you want an insane game: Remove cards as per instructions above, but put all Special cards along with the approriate number of normal cards into a single work deck. This could will lead to a game where you could draw 10 specials in a row! Skip the next step if doing this
  16. Now you should have a bunch of work decks with one special in each. You will need to divide the number of remaining Normal Deck cards by the number of work decks you have. You will then need to Right Click on the Normal Deck and choose "Draw Multiple cards" and input the number you got via the above division. Drag each to set to a different work deck. For the left overs keep adding one to different works deck until all normal cards have been used. These extra cards can be used to pad earlier/later parts of the deck as desired.
  17. The work decks are now all built. You will now need to shuffle each, and then right click and choose "Send to Main Board". If order is important it stacks them using FILO ( EG First deck sent to main board, Last Out deck out ).
  18. You can now close this board and not look at it again unless you want to play another game, which require resorting the cards from the discard stack. Better yet just start a new game.
