Vikings: Warriors of the North

Players take the roles of Viking jarls competing for control of the northern seas and the Konung Crown. They sail drakkars between villages, enemy ships, and their own ports, pillaging settlements, battling rival jarls, and gathering the daughters of opposing thanes. Wind and event cards drive movement and provide tactical effects, including stronger attacks, extra sailing, die re-rolls, and card theft. Hero cards join a ship’s crew and grant permanent abilities, but each drakkar has only three crew slots. Players take one action per turn and may play any number of cards, with combat resolved by a six-sided die. The first player to bring three differently colored daughters to their port wins.
