Ragnarok is coming. The end of the world is nigh. But there are those that seek to alter the path of history and avoid this terrible cataclysm. They are the Norns, and they have searched out the Well of Fate, Urðr, in order to find out how. Trying out different combinations of heroes and Quests, will find the one that will avoid Ragnarok, or die trying.

In God of War: The Card Game, players take on the role of the Norns, powerful individuals from mythology, as they try different combinations of heroes and Quests in order to stop Ragnarok. Each Quest is made up of a mosaic of cards, representing the foe that the Norns must fight against. By building up their own special combat deck of cards, the Norns will gain power as they battle along. If they can defeat all three Quests set before them, then Ragnarok can be stopped.
