Ragnarok: The Twilight of the Gods is a game depicting the struggle of the Aesir race of Norse gods against an invasion of enemies led by the traitorous god, Loki. The map depicts the Plain of Vigrid, lying between the Rainbow Bridge and the city of the gods, Asgard, where the battle takes place, and the playing pieces represent warriors, Valkyries, Frost Giants, Fire Giants, and such celebrated individuals as Odin, Thor, Loki, and the Midgard Serpent. Each player maneuvers his forces across the map in an effort to fulfill his victory conditions. To win, the player commanding the invading Jotun forces must destroy Asgard, thus bringing about Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods. The Aesir player must repel the Jotun invasion to win, thus postponing Asgard's fall. Originally published in Ares Magazine #8 May 1981
