The new game, designed by Bryan Pope (Mage Wars: Arena) and Jason Medina puts players in the role of rival Vikings trying to bluff and outwit each other for a greater share of fantastic treasures. The dice game incorporates elements of bidding and wagering, and adds an element of bluffing that keeps the game surprising. According to Pope, "the underlying goal was to make a game of high social interaction."

The game is for 3-5 players, plays in 1 hour, and is designed for both casual and competitive players. MSRP is $39.99.

Last month, Arcane Wonders released Mage Wars Arena: Paladin vs. Siren (see "Two More Enter the Arena").
