VIGRID — where the final battle of Norse legend is fought. Two factions clash on a sacred battlefield: the Aesir gods and the Jotnar giants. Each turn you play a movement card to advance your warriors — but the cards change every round, and your opponent sees them too. Every game deals a fresh hand from 19 mythological cards, so no two battles are alike. HOW TO PLAY Move one of your pieces using one of your two cards. Capture your opponent's Master — or march your own Master to their throne — to win. Games last 5–15 minutes. The rules fit on one screen; the strategy runs deep. 19 CARDS OF NORSE LEGEND Each card bears the name and movement pattern of a creature or force from the Eddas — Fenrir, Sleipnir, the Valkyrie, Jörmungandr, Huginn, and more. The card you play passes to your opponent, so every move reshapes both armies' options. FEATURES • Solo play against AI — four difficulty levels from Beginner to Hard • Pass & Play — two players, one device, two modes: pass the device between turns or play side by side • Interactive tutorial — learn in minutes • Full card gallery — browse all 19 cards with movement diagrams • Game replay — step through any completed game move by move • Undo support in solo play • Resign at any time • No ads. No in-app purchases. Free. DESIGNED FOR IPAD AND IPHONE Vigrid adapts to any screen — portrait or landscape, iPhone or iPad. The stone-textured board and hand-crafted card art bring the world of Norse mythology to life. Pure strategy — no luck beyond the opening deal.
