Produktbeschreibung

A new game from the Ragnar Brothers... vikings, longships and sagas... raiding, settling and trading. Sound like fun? It most certainly is! The box contains a nice printed cloth, some small wooden blocks in various colours, some good-quality playing cards, a few card counters and some dice. There are also card counters that represent the longships which fit into small plastic stands to allow you to move them round the board. Well actually it's not a board, but a good quality dish-cloth that has a map of Dark Age Europe printed on it, plus various other bits and pieces where you place the game components during play. The cloth is great, as the problem with most boardgames is if you knock them, all the playing pieces move around. Not with a cloth - everything stays put.

The game is for two to five players, with each player taking on the role of a Viking (and a male Viking at that, so it says in the rule book!). Players take it in turns to carry out a weeks worth of actions, which include loading your longship, sailing it round the map, and playing a Rune card (sort of like fate cards). One action takes a day, so for the not-so-brightest among you, this means you get to carry out seven actions in a turn. You also get to carry out tasks: trading, raiding or settling. These can only happen when your longship is in a port and although carrying out a task doesn't take any days to perform, you can only do one in a port each turn.

The goal of the game is to accumulate gold and this is done in a variety of ways, including carrying out the three tasks, some of which earn you points as they are carried out, others at the end of the game. The tasks are very straight forward, raiding and settling requiring you to roll up to three dice and for each roll you fail, you lose one crewman (the little wooden blocks represent your crewmen when they are onboard your longship and settlements when they are placed in a port).This gives you an element of choice as you must load up your ship before you set-sail, and only have between five and seven spaces in which to load crewmen and trading goods. As the various tasks require different items, you must choose carefully when loading-up.

There are three Sagas in the game, which are played as cards. Three spaces on the cloth take one card each, so there are always three saga cards in play until you get to the end of the game. The saga cards basically give you missions that you should complete to earn bonus points, plus you get to keep the card which adds to your score at the end of the game. As the sagas progress (in sequence from the 1st to the 3rd), the missions get further afield, but the rewards are greater. This gives you the choice of whether to carry out smaller local missions for limited gains around the home-ports (Norway, Sweden and Denmark), or make longer voyages over 2-3 turns to distant ports where the rewards are greater!

You only get to move your longships on the sea and river sections of the map, and these are broken into irregular shaped chunks. It takes a day to move from one section to the next, one day to move into a port, and one day to move out. On top of this, there are four zones: North, East, South and West. Each zone has a limit on the number of clear sailing days available, you can risk more, but must lose items from your ship depending on how much you exceed these limits. Finally, there is a wind dial that gives you different values depending on which way it is turned (a player can turn the dial once when playing a Rune card). The values are from -1 to +1, and these apply to the number of clear sailing days for the different zones. Another neat touch to the gameplay, which has several mechanisms that I really like.

It probably sounds more complicated than it is, plus there are other nuances to the game that I've not detailed here, but it is a very enjoyable game, with plenty to keep you interested, yet simple enough for anyone to play. I played a game against my girlfriend and although she was put-off initially when she saw all the bits and pieces laid out on the cloth, after a couple of turns, she was really enjoying herself! So, a big thumbs up for Viking Fury from me and my gal.
