Loki has challenged you to a winner-take-all game to end Ragnarok. Can you beat him and win the right to rule the new world?--Ragnarok has been raging for far too long; many gods and heroes have fallen, and the rest can barely stand. Loki, his bright eyes dimmed by exhaustion, asks to meet. He proposes that you and he settle the conflict with a game atop a sacred table engraved with your names. Can you beat the infamous trickster and win the right to rule the new world? Alex Rosenthal shows how.Lesson by Alex Rosenthal, directed by Igor Ćorić, Artrake Studio.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/can-you-solve-the-trickster-god-riddle-alex-rosenthalDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/can-you-solve-the-trickster-god-riddle-alex-rosenthal/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.artrake.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
