Renegade Game Studios 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle - Raiders of The North Sea - Conquest, 26 x 19 inches, Features Art from The Critically Acclaimed Board Game, Raiders of The North Sea, Age 10 & Up

Very fun worker placement game.

This is a different and fun worker placement game for 2-4 players. Game play takes about 90 minutes. My family thoroughly enjoys this game! The viking theme is extra fun - it is especially good if players are about the same ability as far as game playing skills go. I highly recommend this game. Please mark if you find my review helpful. Thank you so much!

Beautiful art, lots of strategy, easy to play. What else can you ask for in a board game? I had not paid much attention to this whole series of games until Amazon had it on sale for around $30. Read the reviews, and decided to give it a try. Rules are very well written and there are many Watch it Played type videos to look at. We were able to play pretty quickly. For an easy game to learn, decisions were not light at all. Games have been very competitive and scoring is very close. My 11 year old picked it up pretty quickly too. Art is amazing. Really good game.

Whether a game is easy or difficult to learn is relative to how much game boarding you do. I would say this was medium difficult to learn—about the equivalent of learning Wingspan, maybe slightly more complex. And similar set up time for the game. For new players, it was quite slow moving at the beginning, and lots of confusion—even after we all watched a Youtube video explaining it. A few players were ready to abandon it after 45 minutes or so. But the game did speed up, and as players caught on, it became more interesting. I’m sure subsequent plays would move much faster. There were a lot of actions/potential actions on the cards that never came into play for any players, and it was hard for me to see that they would ever be significant, even for experienced players. So I would say the game seems unbalanced. The game might be improved by streamlining the options. The version I played had really nice quality coins/meeples/objects, but I think it might have been a Kickstarter version. One really bad decision the game designers made was to make the “workers” black, gray, and white, with the “black workers” doing most of the menial tasks, and the “white workers” necessary for doing the high level raiding. Too many times in the game players uttered things like “I can’t do that, I only have a black worker,” or “I really need a white worker.” Really, they couldn’t have anticipated this and made the workers magenta, teal and orange, or some other color scheme?

My family loves board games and wanted them to have a good time, they were used to catan and other simple games but loved this one when I picked it up for them.

SOO fun! I got all the extensions as well and makes a great family game night!! we can stop to take breaks if we need to and its nice to play a game that isnt necessarily against each other.

A really solid worker-placement game with a really solid ruleset. For the price point, I cant recommend many other games that can do as much as it does. Each turn is taken by first placing your one worker, gaining the effect of the location you placed them (earning provisions/silver/crew/etc) and then finishing your turn by removing a worker on the board, also gaining its effect. You can choose to raid instead at the beginning of your turn if you have the requirements (crew size/provisions/gold), and youll gain VP and resources as a reward. Theres so much more beneath that and competing against the other raiders for the same locations under constraints like that is super fun.

We are pretty avid gamers and this one hits the spot. Wanted a worker placement game and debated between this and Lords of Waterdeep for a while. This game plays really well with only 2p and I would imagine it translates seamlessly to 4p. Watch a 15 min YouTube video on how to play it and it’s not hard at all to learn, but still a little complex. I’d say it’s more so for people who play games pretty regularly. Overall, very happy with this purchase. Really looking forward to the 2 expansions that get great reviews. OH! And the solid metal coins. Every game should have these. Amazing.

Great game Enough said Artwork is great the Worker place/pull action mechanism is genius.

Great worker placement game with a unique take, where there is no refresh phase. You are always placing one meeple and taking one and doing the action(s) of both the meeple you placed and picked up. Gameplay is very smooth as a result. The game is fairly simple overall, so it doesnt take long to teach and is fairly beginner friendly.
