Viking Raiders

On your turn, you draw 2 cards to see what your clan did while you were away. Did they focus on resources and mine stone or gold, collect wood, create new Vikings, or increase food supplies? Sometimes they spent their time preparing actions for you by capturing a wandering Berserker or preparing a raid (one of their favorite activities). Or maybe they've gotten a favor from one of the Norse gods or goddesses?

Each turn you can use an action (for example, raid or use a favor from a god or goddess) and buy an item from a central market. You buy items using the resources you have on hand, and you can choose between ships for your navy, buildings for your clan and valuable items for your loot. Each item gives 1-3 victory points, and the first player to have an agreed upon number of victory points in each category wins the game.

There are also four rare abilities that sometimes appear on the market. Oh, and watch out for Ragnarok... !

Compact and easy to carry, this entry-level game is ideal for casual gamers and families with children ages 9 and up.
