Fate: Defenders of Grimheim 2025

Freyja, the Norse goddess of fertility, joins Thor in Asgaard for a wedding along with all the proven warriors from Grimheim. You’re not one of them. Loki, the trickster god, sees his chance to destroy Freyja’s sacred well in Grimheim. Soon, monsters appear from all directions, advancing towards the small village where you are now the only defenders left. Kill monsters to gain experience and upgrade your hero, solve quests to discover weapons and equipment, and stand shoulder to shoulder with your friends against the mighty monsters of Norse mythology. The fate of Grimheim is in your hands.

Fate is a cooperative game where players who take the roles of talented but unexperienced heroes. Together, they defend Freyja’s well against trolls, the dead, and the fire horde monsters approaching from all sides of the game board. Each time a monster enters Grimheim, a town piece is destroyed. All players lose if the town is completely destroyed, but they win if at least Freyja’s Well remains when she returns at the end of the game
