Description
Vikings is a fun and strategic economic game that's all about building your wealth and territory. Despite its Viking theme, there's no actual exploration or pillaging involved, just clever resource management. Players take turns buying and placing pairs of meeples and tiles, with the goal of accumulating the most valuable collection. The game is designed for 2 to 4 players and typically lasts around 60 minutes, making it a great option for a weeknight game night. The game's unique pricing wheel adds an extra layer of excitement, as it pairs meeples with tiles and sets their prices. This means that players need to think carefully about which resources to bid on and when to strike. With its normal complexity level and lack of necessary in-game text, Vikings is accessible to fans of board games and new players alike. Designed by Michael Kiesling and first published in 2007, Vikings has become a classic in the world of economic and territory-building games.
