Description

In Vikings: Warriors of the North, you and your friends take on the roles of Viking jarls, vying for control over the North and the coveted Konung Crown. With easy-to-learn rules, 3 to 4 players can dive into this 60-minute adventure, navigating the stormy northern seas and battling each other along the way. As you brave the seas, you'll need to watch out for the sea monster lurking beneath the waves and make strategic decisions to outmaneuver your opponents. The goal is to pillage villages, capture the daughters of opposing thanes, and return them to your home port to secure recognition of your authority. As you play, you'll use a combination of dice rolling, grid movement, and hand management to outwit your foes and achieve victory. With a variety of cards at your disposal, you can increase your chances in battle, re-roll the dice, or even steal cards from your opponents' hands. The game is full of twists and turns, with heroes and story events that can drastically change the gameplay. With only 60 minutes to claim the Konung Crown, the gameplay is fast-paced and furious, letting you feel like a true Viking chieftain. Will you be the most cunning and vehement jarl, favored by the Gods, and throw a great feast to celebrate your victory? There's only one way to find out - set sail for the North and may the battle begin.
