> 3 dayVery good game. Worker placement with collection to pay for viking raids. Played it today with one other person it was really great. I would like to play it again with more players and see how it works. I have already kickstarted the 2 expansions for this game.

> 3 dayGreat Game!!! The first time I played it was probably about a 30-40 min. long explanation of the rules and terms of play, though it was rather distracted explanation and I would guess that if you less of a board game novice as my friends and I you would be able to explain it rather quickly. After 1.5 rounds of play or so the game just took off and the rules were barely glanced at after. The second time I played was with someone who had never played before. This time I explained the game in its entirety in about 15, though the player did have some previous knowledge with games of a similar sort. We were able to make it through the game with minimal mistakes and improper actions. The game is super well balanced with many different ways to gain the victory points (the games main scoring value). As you raid there can be a lot of thought an strategy that goes into your decisions. There a few low armor level towns people are that could be great to have in the beginning of the game, but by the end you’d probably want to sacrifice them to a Valkyrie if you get the chance. Both times I’ve played have been pretty relaxed I’d say, but we still had multiple times where a player would sit for 10min. trying to figure whether they should work or raid, or whether they should drop a worker at the Town Hall first or at the Gate House. This game has a very simple design which makes it enjoyable to a wide age range, but if intense strategy and mind melting planning is your cup of tea this game could be for you as well. One thing that I believe the game could use more player verses player involvement. As is there is only a small hint of sabotage that can be passed around. But I’m a big fan of setbacks and backstabbing I’m board games. (It lets you know who your real friends are). I’m primarily of something similar to the Thief in Catan some that sets multiple people back but is not in use all that often. I don’t know for sure. Anyway great game lots of fun would recommend for everyone.

> 3 dayWe received this game less than a week ago, and my tweens and I have played several times already. It is thematic in the sense that youre a captain/leader of a Viking ship, who must recruit a crew, lead it on raids and manage its resources. Not all of your crew will make it back home -- some will die in battle and earn their way to Valhalla. The board isnt cluttered, and the artwork reminds you to have some fun. The game also gets kudos for having an appropriately sized box. So much game in a medium sized box. The game moves quickly. If youve enjoy a smattering of worker placement/action selection, engine building and resource management, this may be a good game for you.

Greater than one weekWe love this game. We have played it 4 times now and everyone from our almost 80 year old parents to our 10 year old son love it. The instructions and game play are very easy to follow. Its complicated without being too frustrating. Get this game if you love everything Viking and even if you dont. Its just a fun game.
