When Ragnarok is played with only the base game: every player conducts 5 phases (Resource phase, action phase, building phase, attack phase and follower phase). When playing Ragnarok combined with the base game and Rise of the Giants expansion: every player finishes 4 phases during their turn (Valda phase, attack phase, follower phase and resource phase).
