Blood Rage: Promos Box

Blood Rage: Promos Box Rulebook

Five-Player Game

Transcriber's note: the sheet is a one-page setup insert for five players. It is printed in French; the English below is a translation.

Blood Rage can be played with five players by simply adding one additional clan, and by following the directives below during the Setup phase.

Preparing the Cards

In a five-player game, NO cards are removed from the decks during setup. Simply add the 5+ cards to their respective decks.

Transcriber's note: the 5+ icon appears on 24 cards in this box: every Battle, Will of the Gods, Chieftain, Warrior and Ship card below. The Gods, the monsters and the Stag Clan Shaman carry no 5+ icon. The sheet does not name the additional clan.

Preparing the Board

During this step, NO Province is destroyed by Ragnarök. At the start of the game, ALL Provinces are accessible to the players.

Gods

The gods are placed on the board in their provinces. Each god card's power applies in the province the god occupies. The card text is given as printed in the translation.

Hel, the Treacherous

Invading the Hel province with a figure of any kind costs exactly 1 Rage (regardless of any other cost modifiers).

Odin, the All-Father (version 1)

If you successfully pillage Odin's province, again receive the Pillage reward.

Odin, the All-Father (version 2)

After pillaging Odin's province, receive the pillage token reward once more.

Thor, the Victorious

Winning a battle in Thor's province, gain 2 Glory for each destroyed opponent's figure.

Tyr, the God of Battle

The strength of all figures in Tyr's province equals 0. Only the strength of battle cards is counted.

Heimdall, the Keeper (version 1)

In Heimdall's province, battle cards are played face up, one at a time, and the player performing the pillage plays cards last.

Heimdall, Guardian of the Gods (version 2)

In Heimdall's province, battle cards are played openly and in turn. The player who began the pillage plays a card last.

Frigga, the Mother Protector

In Frigga's province, figures are never destroyed during battles.

Loki, the Trickster

All players who lose a battle in Loki's province receive battle Glory instead of the winner.

Monsters

Each monster is a monster card with a red circle numeral. Monsters carry no 5+ icon. The translation gives the numeral as printed; its meaning is not spelled out on the card text.

Hildisvini

Red circle: 1.

When this monster invades a province, it may there replace a figure, moving that figure to an adjacent province of your choice.

Mountain Giantess

Red circle: 3.

This monster counts as a Chieftain.

Garm

Red circle: 2.

Ragnarök destroys Garm's province instead of the doomed province (unless it is Yggdrasil).

Ymir

Red circle: * (see the text).

Upgrading or invading does not require Rage.

Strength = number of your figures in Valhalla x2.

Seer Troll

Red circle: 2.

Your figures invade this monster's province for free.

Nidhoggr

Red circle: 2.

After you win a battle with this monster, gain 1 Glory for each figure of the losing player in Valhalla.

Wolfwoman

Red circle: 3.

Only the strength of monsters is counted in battle with this monster.

Stag Clan Shaman

The Stag Clan is new to this box. Only its Shaman appears in the translated card file; the Stag Clan's clan sheet, Mystics and tokens are not in that file and are not transcribed here.

Stag Shaman

Red circle: 2.

No Rage is spent on invasion.
