Snifelheim

Snifelheim is a cooperative order-of-operations tabletop RPG set in the world of Norse mythology. As a part of the design team led by Northeastern University’s games head during my Game Research and Design co-op in summer 2019, I led playtests, participated in playtests, contributed to the game’s design document, developed the game’s mechanics, and helped create and edit marketing materials.

The Allfather has a cold! Odin didn’t wear his coat while thinning out frost giants before Ragnarok. The End of the World approaches, and the gods need their leader at his best if any of them are going to survive. Eir’s chicken noodle soup recipe should do the trick, but she’ll need the finest ingredients from the Nine Realms. 

In Snifelheim, players cooperate to collect all nine ingredients to make Eir’s chicken noodle soup while also attempting to accomplish their own character’s goals. Players may play runes with certain effects, narrating its effects to progress the story. For full rules and the design document, click here.
