Sep 18, 2024Roots of Yggdrasil is a solid combination of different genres, designed to appeal to players who want to solve problems without committing to long-term city-building. The design is tight, focused on doing as much as possible using limited resources, reaching objectives in a short number of turns using every available card. The Viking theme is re-interpreted in cool ways, especially when it comes to characters, and the game has a good presentation. Play a run or two a day, focus on a clear objective for the Holt, and test out ideas. Roots of Yggdrasil’s mechanics will take some time to master for players who are unfamiliar with city or deck building but once gamers invest the energy they will get back hours of fun, tense action.
