Each player can equip three gods at the start and provide a fair bit of customization and unpredictability. When used, they call upon the power of their depicted god - Loki, Baldr, Thor and others - to enact dramatic changes to the match. Those wooden God Favors act as special abilities that cost resources gathered from one of the dice’s faces. The first player to wipe out the other’s health pool of polished stones wins.
VALHALLA HILLS CONTRIBUTOR EDITION SERIES
Players can amass their actions over a series of three throws before everything resolves and the turn passes. In Orlog, two combatants take turns rolling a handful of six-sided dice and selecting which results to hold back as actions - swords and arrows attack, helms and shields defend, and the deft hand steals coins from the pile. Enjoyed in quick, 15-minute or so bursts and offering a realxing pace in contrast to burning churches and taking on upstart clan leaders, Orlog quickly caught on. Dicebreaker reported last year that the partnership was already in the works when speaking to co-dev game director Benoit Richer about creating their Viking’s favourite non-raiding activity.
Players have been asking for a real-world version of the side activity essentially since the video game released last year. Everything can be stored in a wooden storage box with molded liners on the inside for keeping everything organized. They look wood-burned and aged, as if they’ve spent years or decades hefted in some traveler’s knapsack as they crossed hills and oceans. Perhaps the best looking pieces in the set are the matching set of 20 God Favor cards crafted from wood in the style of the in-game collectibles. The linen game mat sports a cool sky-blue color with decorative edging, and the two storage bags feature the crossed hatchet Assassin symbol from the video game’s marketing. Polished stone health counters, metal tokens and a metal coin used as a turn tracker are also included. The set will include two sets of acrylic dice complete with the weapon and armour symbols seen in the game, along with wooden bowls for each. According to a press release, this initial run will be limited to 500 premium sets - all numbered - and will cost collectors or simply avid Orlog fans $199 (£142).

“YouTube is a platform as controversial as it is entertaining and yet, for far too long, the general public has been kept in the dark about how its algorithm can drive users down dangerous conspiracy theory rabbit holes.” “With ‘The YouTube Effect,’ we want to shine a light on its benefits and dangers in the hopes of fostering a dialogue on how the platform can be made safer,” Hurd says. Producers include Winter (Trouper Productions), Gale Anne Hurd (Valhalla Entertainment) and Glen Zipper (Zipper Bros. “The unparalleled scale of Google’s YouTube has significant and problematic implications worldwide and has received much less attention than its competitors.” “We’re thrilled to be collaborating with Drafthouse Films and Kanopy on our release”, says Winter. “The YouTube Effect” will debut on Kanopy and other digital platforms after July 14.
