What this is
Distant worlds collide through time and space to battle on 3D landscapes of Valhalla. Players roll attack dice as listed on their unit's card (1 to 8 dice in the Master Set), and the opponent rolls defense dice equal to the number on their unit's card (1 to 9 dice). The master game uses a point system in which players alternate drafting cards until they reach the pre-assigned point value for the scenario.
