I raided the Frostgrave scenery box and James had some frozen trees which made for a rudimentary but effective frozen north board.
Young Master Morris claimed Loki, so I took Odin. The Trickster God's force was mostly giants and wolves and trolls (Oh My!) whereas I had dwarfs and vikings (including Harald Hardrada).
The trolls and giants occupied the centre of the board.
My dwarf archers hid in a wood.
Fenrir made an appearance to lead the wolves.
Young Master Morris sent Ymir to kill my lone giant.
Harald and his Huscarls went troll hunting.
Frosty the giant proved surprisingly durable and eventually the wolves had to get involved.
Loki popped up to deal with Harald.
At about this point Young Master Morris decided he'd rather play something abit less analogue and went off Mario karting.
This made Odin's job somewhat harder.
He teamed up with the Valkyrie to kill some wolves.
Then got into a big fight with Ymir, Loki and Fenrir. Loki wisely popped off to the far side of the table.
Fenrir decided to have a go at the Bondi (who really should have spent the game in a hut. Praying)
Odin, fast running out of heroes finally realised victory lay in murdering mortals and set off to stop the wolves drinking from the Ice Pool of Regeneration.
Fenrir carried on eating Bondi for breakfast.
And Loki was slowly murdering dwarfs (it's good to have a hobby).
Meanwhile the trolls had regenerated by the pool and Ymir was dealing with the Vikings.
The Trolls went after Odin.
And Loki decided the time was ripe to teleport over.
With only a smattering of mortals left alive Odin's death at his brother's hand saw the end of the game.
It was all going so well when I was playing against an easily distracted small child! Once James took over my luck changed.
OGAM really is lots of fun.
However I only ever really remember the rules about half way through the game.
I did like the look of this on snowy ground. Considering now whether to frost up the existing bases...
