Ares Games and DAM Things Game Studio announced Viking Route, a new cooperative board game, which is slated to hit Kickstarter on December 3, 2024.

In Viking Route, designed by Martino Chiacchiera, Luca Maragno, and Guido Albini, players assume the roles of Viking heroes preparing for the final battle to stop Ragnarok from coming about.  Along the way, they will face off against Norse creatures and complete challenging quests. The unique aspect of this game is that it comes with a 3D Viking ship and utilizes a compass and magnets in the design. Each of the quests can be played on its own or as part of a larger campaign.

This game is for one to four players, ages 13 and up, and plays in 60-120 minutes.

Ares Games will also release a new edition of Mega Civilization called Mega Empires (see "'Mega Civilization' for Preorder").
