Micro Midgard
Travel the 9 realms, and become the champion that fulfils the Norn
of 2,500 GBP Goal
Backers

Ragnarok is coming...Skoll and Hati chase the Sun and the Moon across the sky, signaling the end of the world. As a champion of Midgard you must travel the 9 realms and fulfil the Norn’s prophecies before they are destroyed.

Micro Midgard is a 30 min tactical worker placement game for one or two players. Using the unique worker-movement mechanic from the hugely successful Micro Dojo, Micro Midgard brings a more complex head-to-head experience in a small package.
Pledges

Prometheus Game Labs campaigns focus on two things. By supporting my games through crowdfunding you will get:
- Incredible value: I pack as much gameplay as possible into a small box, with efficient use of components and no wasted space.
- Impeccable Service: I believe in clear and timely communication, and running Kickstarter campaigns that I would want to be a part of as a backer myself.




The Yggdrasil mini expansion is available as an add-on for the Standard Edition. Bringing new Blessing abilities that get stronger (or weaker) when Ragnarok occurs adds a new layer of strategy to the game. The expansion contains:
- 3 new meeples - Ratatoskr, Nidhogg and Vedrfolnir
- 4 new Blessing cards (with 32 Blessing abilities)



The Ragnarok Edition is a scaled-up version of the game (at ~2x size), with deluxe components such as triple-layer recessed boards and chunky wooden resources, as well as an upsized version of the Yggdrasil expansion included for free. This version also includes alternate realms for a variable setup mode only found in the Ragnarok Edition.
The Ragnarok Edition also includes the Standard Edition of the game tucked inside the box! This means you can enjoy the large version at home and continue your Micro Midgard experience when on the move.

How to Play








How to Play - Solo
The solo mode for Micro Midgard, co-designed with Shem Phillips, has you battle for the realms against Loki and their devious schemes.

Add-On Rewards
Extra copies of Micro Midgard, the Yggdrasil Expansion, and other Prometheus Game Labs games, can be added after selecting your pledge. Some items are limited in stock, so make sure to add yours to your Kickstarter pledge to avoid missing out:


Shipping & Timeline
The Standard Edition of Micro Midgard, like other Prometheus Game Labs games, was designed for cheap International shipping. Keeping the size and weight shipping friendly, whilst packing as much game as possible into a small space, was a key design goal of this project, and everything fits into a C6 Large Letter box.

Shipping will be charged in the Pledge Manager (Gamefound) after the campaign and prior to fulfillment. UK and EU shipments will also be subject to VAT at the country's local required rate, which is normally ~20%. Collecting and managing VAT in the pledge manager means that the games will arrive with no extra charges at your door!

Pledges are sent from the UK with fulfillment partner Zatu, with the Standard Edition offering both low cost (untracked) shipping, and a premium tracked shipping option for those that want further assurance from local postal services. Note that the Ragnarok Edition only has a tracked shipping option. Shipping options can be chosen in the pledge manager after the campaign ends.
Timeline
Micro Midgard is complete at launch, meaning there's no long wait to complete the artwork or content. Shortly after the funds clear, I will be making payment to the manufacturing partner who will begin proofing and preparing the digital and physical samples. For more details on the expected timeline see below:

Previous campaigns have delivered early or on-time, however there is always a risk that progress gets delayed by any number of issues. The above timeline should be taken as an estimate.
About Prometheus Game Labs

Backer-Centric Crowdfunding
Board game crowdfunding is vital for a lot of creators to be able to publish their games, but it requires an awful lot of trust and patience by backers to pay money for something well in advance of it being finished, produced, and shipped to them. I want to ensure that the trust backers give me is not misplaced, and so I set out a Backer Centred Crowdfunding Policy that describes my intentions for crowdfunding campaigns. This means you can expect the following from Prometheus Game Labs:
- I will not create unrealistic funding goals. If the project funds, I will not cancel it later.
- I will accurately represent shipping costs – even if I choose to subsidize them.
- I commit to include backers as partners in the process of creation, and not just pre-order customers.
- I will give at least one progress update monthly to backers until general fulfillment is complete.
- Backer funds will only be used for the project for which they are crowdfunded until general fulfillment is complete.
- I will not sell product via conventions or distribution to non-backers until general fulfillment is complete.
- The MSRP of games will not be lower than the equivalent pledge amount.
- I will not censor criticism or frustration by backers (with the exception of abuse), and will respond to comments with honesty and integrity.
