To set up Champions of Midgard: Valhalla, follow the normal setup instructions for the base game of Champions of Midgard, and then add the following steps for the Valhalla expansion: 1. Shuffle the new Destiny Cards from the expansion with the Destiny Cards from the base game. 2. Place the Berzerker Dice and Shieldwarrior Dice near the other Viking Warrior dice beside the main board. 3. Place the Sacrifice tokens beside the board near the other tokens. 4. Place the Valhalla Board next to the main game board. 5. Shuffle the Valkyrie Blessing Cards and place them on their indicated space. Empty spaces will be filled with face-up Valkyrie Blessings during the setup phase of each round. 6. Shuffle the Epic Monster Cards and reveal 2 of them (3 in a 4-5 player game), placing them on the indicated spaces on the Valhalla board. Return unused cards to the box. 7. Give each player the Leader Ability board corresponding to their chosen leader, to be placed beneath their leader board, and a Burial Ground Tile to be placed beside it. 8. Finally, give each player 1 Leader Die in addition to their normal starting resources.
When playing with the *Valhalla* expansion, you can perform specific actions on your turn by placing a chieftain disc on the *Valhalla Board*: * **Place a chieftain disc** on one of the two spaces on the *Valhalla Board* to perform an associated action. * **The Valhalla space**: You can spend sacrifice tokens to claim *Valkyrie Blessing* cards from the supply. You must spend the number and type of sacrifice tokens indicated on the chosen card. * **The Epic Monsters space**: You can spend sacrifice tokens to claim *Epic Monsters*. When taking one of these chieftain disc actions: * You must be able to resolve the action in its entirety. * You may only take one action per chieftain disc, and your turn ends once you have chosen and completed it. Sacrifice tokens, which are necessary for these actions, are gained whenever a corresponding *Viking Warrior* die is returned to the supply and are stored on your *Burial Grounds* tile.

The provided passages from Champions of Midgard: Valhalla describe how "Glory" contributes to a player's score, particularly at the end of the game, but do not explicitly detail the overall winning conditions for the game. Based on the passages: * "Glory" is a key scoring mechanism in the game. * Epic Monsters provide immediate Glory upon being defeated, and additional Glory that is added to a player's score at the end of the game. * This "End of Game Glory" from Epic Monsters, along with Glory from other tiles and monsters, is added to a player's total score at the end of the game. * Other sources of Glory mentioned include defeating trolls and claiming Valkyrie Blessing cards. The specific rule stating how a winner is determined from this score (e.g., "the player with the most Glory wins") is not present in the loaded rulebook passages.
Based on the provided rules for *Champions of Midgard: Valhalla*, here's how scoring related to Epic Monsters works: * **Immediate Glory:** When you defeat an Epic Monster, you immediately gain a certain amount of Glory. * **Immediate Bonus:** In addition to immediate Glory, an Epic Monster provides an additional bonus which is gained immediately upon claiming it. For example, the Troll Slayer grants 3 Glory and 2 Coin immediately. * **End of Game Glory:** Epic Monsters also provide Glory at the end of the game. The total Glory from an Epic Monster for end-game scoring is indicated by a large number in the bottom right corner of its tile. This Glory is added to your score at the end of the game, along with any other Glory from tiles or monsters. * **Conditional End of Game Glory:** Some Epic Monsters may provide additional Glory based on conditions met at the end of the game. For example, Fenrir grants 8 Glory immediately and an additional 4 Glory for each Troll you have defeated at game end. The provided passages specifically detail the scoring contributions of Epic Monsters. They mention "other Glory from tiles, monsters, etc." but do not specify what those other sources are or how they are scored.
I couldn't find information about how and when the game ends in the provided rulebook passages for Champions of Midgard: Valhalla. The passages mention "at the end of the game" in reference to scoring bonuses from Epic Monsters, but do not specify the trigger for the game itself ending. Please try rephrasing your question, perhaps using terms like **round end**, **game duration**, or **final scoring** if that's closer to what you're looking for.
