Roots of Yggdrasil

Roots of Yggdrasil centres around the survivors of Ragnarök— the end and rebirth of the nine worlds, according to Norse mythology, brought on by an epic battle of the gods.

Using a deck of cards that changes per turn, your goal as the player is to find a place safe from the turmoil to rebuild the little piece of society you have left.

Roots of Yggdrasil describes itself as a deck-led puzzle game, but I would describe it more as a strategy sandbox with puzzle elements. As you start the game, you are brought to various pieces of unconnected floating islands. Through creating certain buildings, you generate points like “population” or “mightiness”, which you can use as a currency to either reconnect the different islands and expand or go exploring for new lands.
