You can then load your vessel up to capacity with any combination of warrior dice and food that you like- with the provision being that the journey to the closer monster cards requires that you have one food for every two warriors and to get to the more distant ones you have to pack one food for every die. There is an extra worker that players can unlock and that increases options, but there have been more than a few points where the choices have felt too restrictive.

In all honesty, every time I set up Champions of Midgard I get excited and think ‘I am going to have a blast here’ and I do but just not as much as I do when I play Waterdeep.
