In The Battle for Sampo, you lead a village as a hero. You have combat and rune scores, and unique powers, and aim to become the legendary hero by claiming twelve heroic deeds. Deeds require different tasks, like battles or helping the village. Manage skills, companions, and resources while balancing different actions. Search for the Golden Sampo for bonuses, but watch out for dark deeds that can tarnish your honor. The player with the most deeds wins in the end. -description from the designer
