	The first draft of orlog played more like a {{Wiki\|deck-building game}}, where players had to collect special dice across the world. The idea to have the Norse gods influence the game was kept from the concept stage, and in this version, it was done by rolling a deity's face. However, playtesting teams from ~~{{Wiki~~\|Ubisoft Singapore}} and ~~{{Wiki\|List of~~ Ubisoft ~~subsidiaries~~\|Ubisoft Chengdu}} found it too cumbersome, and so simplified it into the dice-matching feature and replaced the god dice with favor tokens. The working concept dice and rules scribbled on sticky notes resolved with repeated playtests, but it was not until late 2020 that a mock orlog was digitized using the program ''{{Wiki\|Tabletop Simulator}}'', allowing the teams to finish the final version to implement into ''Valhalla''.<ref name="Dicebreaker" />		The first draft of orlog played more like a {{Wiki\|deck-building game}}, where players had to collect special dice across the world.
