How to play Thor
Overview & game plan
A thunder god: throw and retrieve Mjölnir, stack Electrokinesis – big numbers with solid defense.
If after roll 1 5× Thunder for For Asgard! are reachable. Keep 5× Thunder and reroll all dice not needed, aiming at For Asgard! (5 dice). If fewer than 5 matching dice remain after roll 1, switch to Chain Lightning. For Asgard! deals a documented 14 damage, so the 5 committed dice stay on the table.
Strengths
- Chain Lightning: sum of the best 2 of 3 dice + 2 collateral (~10.5)
- Thunder Wheel prevents 2 per worthy (~2 on average) – real defense
- Guard Break turns attacks undefendable on a 4–5
- For Asgard!: 14 base damage, more with Electrokinesis setup
Weaknesses
- Hammered starts weak (4/5/7)
- Building Electrokinesis costs turns that pure racers do not concede

Concrete playing rules
Resources
- Elektrokinese: Max 4: +1 damage per token on Odinforce and Bottled Lightning; dump 4 for 1 card. Retrieving Mjölnir, Mighty Summon +3, Thunder Bolt +2, Odinforce thunder in the follow-up roll. No active spend – a full 4 makes Bottled Lightning an 11. Only dump when your hand is empty.
- Mjölnir / Guard Break: Mjölnir (companion): throwing = 1 isolated undefendable damage on the target; retrieving = Electrokinesis. Guard Break (max 2): roll at attack conclusion, on 4–5 the attack becomes undefendable. Hammered throws automatically; Mighty Summon +2 Guard Break; Bottled Lightning, For Asgard! throw/retrieve multiple times. Guard Break on the big turns (Chain Lightning, Thunder Bolt) – a 1-in-3 chance that 10 damage becomes unblockable.
