Nine Realms: Revolt

Nine Realms: Revolt is a story-driven deckbuilding adventure set after Ragnarök, when the old gods are dead and the survivors are trying to rebuild. The Fire Giant Revnä has seized control of Asgard. You play as Fjólnir, a young Light Elf whose village in Alfheim is burned by Revnä, and travel between the realms to recruit allies and end his rule.

The campaign

Your journey takes you through Muspelheim’s hellscape, Vanaheim’s forests, a flooded Midgard crossed aboard a rune ship, and a crumbling Helheim, before you challenge Revnä in Asgard. The campaign contains 50 battles, each with its own story, dialogue, enemy and deck. As factions join you in their realms, you unlock cards from a pool of 150, and can build and save decks to adapt your strategy to each opponent.

Build and battle

The game combines trading-card mechanics with dice. You build a deck of at least 40 cards from three of the five factions, each with its own units, spells and legendary cards. Battles take place across three lanes, each with a banner, traps and a die. Destroy all three of your opponent’s banners while protecting your own.

Units can attack any lane, but can defend only their own lane, and only if they have not attacked that round. You can set traps face down to anticipate your opponent’s moves and prepare a powerful next turn, cast spells to change the battle, and build your deck around game-ending legendary cards.

Draft mode

In Draft mode, you build a 40-card deck by choosing one of three cards at a time, then try to win six battles in a row. A single loss ends the run.
