User summary
ヴァルハラスカウト (Valhalla Scout) (Baruhara Sukauto) is a Japanese card game, for 2 or 3 players, published in English and Japanese.

In the game of Valhalla Scout, players, as Gods in Heaven, scout for warriors for Ragnarok the final battle.

To win the game, players try to predict which faction is dominant in the winning force. There are two forces of warriors: those chosen by Gods and those forsaken. Normally the most powerful faction in the chosen force is dominant. However, the forsaken force prevails if they outnumber the chosen force in headcount, in which case the most powerful faction in the forsaken force is dominant.

Each player initially has four warrior cards, each of which has a color and strength value printed in its face. During your turn, you place one warrior card face-down on either force. One of the other players has two options: accept your decision, or refuse your decision and send the card to the opposite force face-up.

Each card has partial information about its identity printed on its back, and some cards have a special ability when refused. You should speculate about what card your opponent placed, and whether the opponent wants you to refuse.

The game ends when each player has one card in hand. Determine the dominating faction in the manner described above. The player who has the strongest card of the dominating faction wins the game.

Publisher's summary
プレイヤーは天界の神々となり、最終決戦《ラグナロク》に備えて屈強な戦士たちをスカウトしていくゲームです。最終的に合計値の大きい陣営（色）が勝つという単純明快なルールですが、相手の許可を尋ねる必要があるためそうは思い通りに行きません。

部分的に得られる情報から推理して詰めていく戦略的なゲームです。
