Product Description
Raiders of the North sea is set in the central years of the Viking age. As Viking warriors, players seek to impress the Chieftain by raiding unsuspecting settlements. Players will need to assemble a crew, collect provisions and journey North to plunder gold, Iron and livestock. There is glory to be found in battle, even at the hands of the Valkyrie. So gather your warriors, it's raiding season! the aim of Raiders of the North sea is to impress the Chieftain by having the most victory points (VP) at the game's end. Victory points are gained primarily by raiding settlements, taking plunder and making offerings to the Chieftain. How players use their plunder is also vital to their success. The game ends when either only 1 fortress raid remains, all Valkyrie are removed, or all offerings have been made.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The easy thing to remember is that you will always start and end your turn with one worker. There are a few more nuances to the game than that, but this is a really quick game to learn and teach and loads of fun with lots of take that moments in attempts to foil your opponents.
The night before it arrived I watched two YouTube videos on how to play while I perused a downloaded copy of the rules. When the game arrived the next day we broke it out and started playing. It's that quick to learn.
The only think I would like to see from Garphill Games for this series is a 5, or 5-6 player expansion.
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2021
Love the feel of the metal coins--its a nice touch to the game.
You pick up on how the game works after about 2 turns. Its a good game. You start out building up your resources and crew(s), so that you can go raiding to build up your supplies. Its a good worker placement type of game. You also need to plan out your moves a head of time too and have a back up plan in case the other players steal your next move.
Highly recommend this game--you will not regret it!

The game is amazing. Me and my friends had a blast with it. For sure this will hit my table frequently from now on. The metal coins are a nice feature and the theme of controlling a group of Vikings to complete raids is so appealing that makes everybody feel part of the universe.
Totally recommend if you like worker placement games, but I suggest to get the Hall of Heroes expansion to have more paths to victory.
