Q. Can I pillage a Province with the
Doom Token?
A. Yes, the Doom Token is just a
reminder that the province will be
destroyed at the end of that Age.
General Rules
Q. Is the board cleared after each Age?
A. No, all figures remain on the board.
All Pillage Tokens are flipped to their
unpillaged side.
Q. What does the * symbol on the
Strength stat of some Upgrade cards
mean?
A. The * means that you should check
the cards text for some special rule
regarding its Strength or Rage cost.
Q. If a player is down to Zero Rage,
then gains some Rage later in the
round, can they continue playing
normally?
A. Yes. If the player has any Rage, they
can continue playing normally on their
turn.
Q. Can Fjords be destroyed in
Ragnarok?
A. No, Ragnarok only destroys
Provinces. However, when Ragnarok
destroys a Province, all Ships in its
supporting Fjord are also destroyed
(giving Glory to its clan).
Q. When there is a Call to Battle, can
I move another unit in after I have
passed?
A. Yes. Players can always bring units
into a battle, until nobody else wants
to, or all Villages are occupied.

stats, do I gain 20 or 30 (10+20) Glory?
A. You gain 20 Glory for fully improving one of your stats.
Upgrades and Battle Cards
Q. If I make a Call to Battle, but there
is no nearby opponent, can I pillage
the province and get its reward?
A. On your turn, you can pillage the
province without starting a battle. It is
worth noticing, however, that without
a battle you do not receive Battle Glory.
Q. Do Leaders still invade for free
after being upgraded?
A. Yes, Leaders always invade for free.
Q. When I play a figure Upgrade, do I
still have to pay to Invade with it?
A. No, when you play a Troop (Warrior,
Leader, Ship) or Monster Upgrade card,
you may immediately invade with that
figure without extra payment.
Q. Is it possible to pillage an already
pillaged province?
A. No, unless you have an ability that
says otherwise.

Q. In a battle, do all the cards have to
be shown at the same time?
A. Yes, all players must reveal a card
at the same time. However, they may
subsequently play Heimdalls Gaze,
Heimdalls Eye or Heimdalls Sight to
increase their STR.
Q. If I have Friggas Succor (when you
invade, you can invade with an additional Warrior) and invade Yggdrasil
with the Dark Elf (This monster can
invade Yggdrasil), can I also place a
Warrior there?
A. Yes, as card abilities prevail over the
general rules.
Q. What happens when Thors Primacy (cancel all text effects) is played
against Heimdalls Watch (discard all
cards)?
A. Thors Primacy is resolved before
Heimdalls Watch, cancelling its effect.
After these cards, resolve everything
else. If there are multiple cards in the
same category, start the resolution
from the pillager and work clockwise.
Q. With Friggas Domain (pay 1 Rage
to invade with any one of your figures
from Valhalla) do you still pay the regular invade cost on top of the 1 cost
for the card?
A. No. Whenever you use this cards
ability you only have to pay 1 Rage.
Q. May Yggdrasil be invaded if I lose
a battle using Lokis Blessing (allows
warrior to invade without cost the
province where the battle was lost)?
A. Yes, Lokis Blessing allows you put a
Warrior in Yggdrasil.
Q. If Lokis Poison (if you lose, take
the winning players revealed cards
into your hand) is played against an
opponent that played Tyrs Prowess
(if you win a battle, you may keep any of
your revealed cards paying 1 Rage each),
can Tyrs Prowess counteract Lokis
Poison effect?
A. No, the the player with Lokis Poison
takes the revealed cards. Tyrs Prowess
can only prevent cards from being
discarded as part of the normal battle
rules, and not counteract the special
ability of Lokis Poison.
Q. If I play an Upgrade card to replace
Friggas Charm, do I still get its discount?
A. Yes, Friggas Charm is still in effect
at the time that the new Upgrade is
played.
Q. What happens when I invade with
a Ship and have Friggas Succor (when
you invade, you can invade with an additional Warrior)?
A. In this case, you may invade one of
the adjacent Provinces with a Warrior.
Q. Can I spend my last Rage with Tyrs
Prowess (if you win a battle, you may
keep any of your revealed cards paying
1 Rage each), before it can be stolen by
Blood Rage FAQ 1.0 (May 2016)
the player who played Lokis Trickery
(steal 1 Rage from the winner)?
A. No, the Lokis Trickery Battle card
takes place before Rage can be spent
with the Tyrs Prowess Upgrade.
Quests
Q. If I play two identical Quest cards,
can I fulfill both and reap all benefits?
A. Yes, you reap benefits of all
completed Quests you play. For
example, if you have the most STR in
a single Manheim province, and two
Manheim! Quests, then you completed
them both.
Q. If a players last figure is destroyed
by Odins Smite (destroys a warrior
from opponents forces before comparing
STR), does that player still participate
in the battle using only the STR of the
card that was played?
A. Yes. If a cards special effect causes a
player to lose all the figures they had in
the battle before comparing STR, that
does not mean that clan is out of the
battle.
Monsters
Q. Can I use Friggas Protection (pay
1 Rage to prevent a figure of yours from
being destroyed) more than once per
Battle?
A. Yes, as long as you pay 1 Rage per
figure.
Q. With Friggas Grace (if you pillage,
raise another stat by 1) can you raise
the same Stat that you raised from
pillaging?
A. No, it allows you to raise a different
stat from the pillaging reward.
However, if the pillaging reward is 5
Glory or All Stats, then you can raise
any stat you choose.
Q. Does the Valkyrie (gain 2 Glory
per enemy figure destroyed) get glory
for destroyed enemy units if she is
destroyed in the course of a battle?
A. Yes, with the Valkyrie you get Glory
for all figures destroyed from the Call
to Battle to the battles Resolution, even
if she is destroyed at any point during
the battle.
Q. Does Tyrs Challenge (pay 2 rage to
repillage) allow a player to gain the
pillage token reward more than once
in the same age?
A. Yes, with Tyrs Challenge you can
pillage an already pillaged province, as
long as you pay 2 Rage every time.
Q. Is the Volur Witch (may retreat to
Yggdrasil if defeated) destroyed if she
loses a battle in Yggdrasil?
A. Yes, as its impossible for her to
retreat to Yggdrasil.

Q. Can I use Friggas Sacrifice (you
may destroy two of your figures to raise
one of your clan stats by one) on my
Friggas Chosen Mystics, retreating
them instead of destroying them?
A. No, the Mystic must be actually destroyed in order to use Friggas Sacrifice.
Gods of Asgard
Q. If a battle takes place in Lokis
province (in his province, players who
loose battles gain Battle Glory), and
there is a tie in STR, do all players in
the battle gain Battle Glory?
A. Yes, since all players lost the battle.
Q. How should we deal with this loop:
Player A attempts to pillage with a
Friggas Chosen Mystic. He loses to
Player B but retreats to an adjacent
province and gains some Glory
through Lokis Backstab (steal 2 Glory
from winner). Next turn he attempts
to pillage again, with Player B moving
to the province and the same thing
happening over and over, with both
players gaining Glory every time.
A. This is an unforeseen special case
that requires a special rule: The player
with a Friggas Chosen Mystic in a
battle cannot play Lokis Backstab.
We apologize for this problematic rules
interaction.
Q. If Loki is in a province and the card
Thors Hammer (extra Glory for the
winner of the Battle) is played, who receives this Glory?
A. In this situation, the winner receives
Glory from the Card and the loser(s)
from the Battle.
Mystics of Midgard
Q. Can I retreat my Mystic if someone
plays Odins Tide (each player destroys
all but one of his figures in this battle),
but I have Friggas Chosen upgrade
(your Mystic may retreat to an adjacent
province instead of being destroyed)?
A. Yes, you can retreat your Mystic
instead of destroying it.
Promo Monsters
Q. Does the Mystic Troll count as a
Mystic?
A. No, it is a regular Monster.
Q. What happens if Fenrir (Ragnarok
destroys his province instead of the doomed one) causes the destruction of a
Province that should be destroyed in
a future Age?
A. In this case, take the destroyed
provinces Ragnarok token from the
Age Track and place it on the board,
then draw a new random Ragnarok
token to replace it on the Age Track.

Q. Do Leader Upgrades affect the
Mountain Giant (counts as a leader)?
A. Yes, since the Mountain Giant
counts as a Leader, it benefits from
Leader Upgrades as well (and invades
for free). Just like the Sea Serpent
benefits from all Ship Upgrades.
Q. If I have a Mystic Troll (your figures
may invade that province for free) and
Friggas Domain (pay 1 Rage to invade
from Valhalla), can I invade that province with units from Valhalla for
free?
A. No, to use Friggas Domain ability,
the player must pay 1 Rage.
Q. If a Wolfman (only monsters count
their STR in a battle) is in battle with
non-Monster figures, do their battle
cards STR count?
A. Yes, even if a player has no STR on
the board, they can still play Battle
Cards to add more STR.
