    A Viking Raid!

    in Now Playing

    Last night I brought Raiders of the North Sea to the table for a viking raid before bed (how calming eh?...)


    I decided to play with just the base game last night. My first and only win came with the Hall of Heroes expansion earlier this year, so I thought I'd try to give the base game a go again and see if I could plunder the most villages!!


    As you can see in the pic, I do still use the player boards (below main board) from the HoH expansion . They're so great!


    As usual, I felt I was off to a great start, and keeping the A.I. within range. I had a nice crew beginning to come together, and we were raiding the harbours quite quickly last night.


    In the end, I lost. BUT! It was worth it, because this game just makes me smile. 😁 The artwork is so great, and so bold in its colours, it paints a beautiful picture of the viking landscape on my table. And of course, worker placement... hello!

    How long does a Solo battle generally take, Derek?

    I didn't really time it, but with setup etc (once you're good with the rules of course) I'd say 45-60min with just the base game. HoH expansion requires a slightly longer setup.. Not by much though.

    That seems quite reasonable for a game with its scope. I love the art (& colors), too.
