Yggdrasil is a cooperative game where players race against time to fend off monsters of Norse mythology and avert Ragnarok. Taking the role of one of a pantheon of gods, each player takes turns raising armies of vikings, forging magical weapons and battling the evil gods. Loki the trickster leads the charge, with great mythical beasts such as Fenrir the wolf and Jormungandr the world serpent joining the fight to destroy the gods and their works. If you hold the line long enough, you all win collectively. Allow too many enemies to advance too far, and you all lose as the cosmos falls to ruin and darkness. Great job.
