Blood Rage is a Viking themed board game designed by Eric Lang and published by CMON Limited in 2015. Each player controls a clan of mythological Vikings seeking glory as Ragnarok approaches. Played in three ages or rounds, Blood Rage features card drafting, battles and territory control via forces represented by sculpted plastic miniatures. All conflicts are resolved through playing cards, and cards are also used to improve and differentiate the different clans and the leaders, warriors, ships and monsters at their command.
Based in part on Lang's 2007 design Midgard,[2] the game was originally released on Kickstarter, raising just under $1 million.[3] The game was well received, landing on the recommended list for the 2015 Kennerspiel des Jahres award for strategy game of the year.[4]
