The time has come... A verbal injury has been cast. I have called for Axes at Dawn! My honor will not be shamed and the holmgang (regulated duel) will be accepted. Let there by Victory or VALHALLA!
Our honor has to be defended, this wrong will be paid for in blood! The omens have prepared me for this through training and sweat. I am strong enough, and should my luck hold; I shall ever be victorious.
I have trained my body in Prowess and Might, and my Willpower is great indeed. But, should my Fortitude fail I shall be meeting the Valkyries.
Axes at Dawn is a Viking Dueling game to the death.
Each player builds their Viking warrior or shieldmaiden by adding points to their attributes.
- Fortitude: The sheer toughness of your warrior; your life. If this value reaches 0, say hello to the Valkyries.
- Prowess: Your warrior’s fighting skill with weapons.
- Might: Your power for each successful blow that lands.
- Will: Your ability to study your opponent, their tenacity, and stubbornness keep going when wounded.
- Draw Your WYRD Stone (one rune of a full Elder Futhark rune set) to to determine how the gods will influence your duel.
Upon arrival to the Duel players then face off and battle.
Deal your cards and plan your six turns which is a round of combat. Each turn your battle card is shown and your attributes are modified. Roll to attack and wound your opponent! Combat is simultaneous, fast, and simple.
Crowdfunding:
Red Duke Games is creating the base 2 player game and possible multi player expansions. Look for the deluxe version of the base game where the game is contained in its very own axe!
