Renegade Game Studios Raiders of The North Sea,Renegade Game Studios Raiders of the North Sea, Ages 12+, 2-4 players, 60 - 80 minutes, Worker placement, Spiel Des Jahres Kennerspiel 2017 Nominee

Best board game out there in my opinion! Wonderful replay ability and my wife and I have had many hours of enjoyment from this game. Works great with expansions and would recommend anyone to play. Great balance in strategy and a lot of fun!

This is a fun game! I highly recommend it, as a big gamer and game collector! Everyone we've played it with has really enjoyed it. It's weighted well and is a fun worker placement.

Awesome game and a great value!

Quick and easy to learn game that uses a popular mechanic in modern board games, worker placement. The basic concept is that each player has workers that on their turn they will place on the board in available locations that then either let the player perform some sort of action or gain some sort of reward. Raiders does this in a very simple and slightly different way than most other games. Each player only has ONE worker. On your turn you will choose to either Work by placing your worker on a valid, available space and performing the action or collecting the appropriate resources and then selecting a different worker on the board and performing the actions or collections for that space or Raid, if you have the proper resources, by placing your worker on one of the available raid spots on the board and carrying out the raid action there and gaining the associated worker, victory points and plunder. The easy thing to remember is that you will always start and end your turn with one worker. There are a few more nuances to the game than that, but this is a really quick game to learn and teach and loads of fun with lots of take that moments in attempts to foil your opponents.

This is a cool, well-designed game with quality components and a fun Viking theme. The strategy elements are well thought out, and it plays smoothly once you get the hang of it. Everything from the artwork to the tokens feels high quality, and it’s clear a lot of care went into the design. That said, it’s not something we reach for often. It’s a good game, just doesn’t make it into our regular game night lineup. Still, definitely worth trying if you enjoy resource management and worker placement-style games.

Who does not love a Viking theme:) The artwork is beautiful. The components are of a good quality. I like the metal coins! Packed out on the table it looks inviting! It is easy to setup and to learn. And its a wonderful game to play because its so immersive. Its enjoyable from start to finish and every time you play it. Every game I played was nail biting and every time I brought it to the table the crowd loved it. Works well as as a 2 and as a 4 player game. Don't hesitate, go get a copy and start raiding the North Sea!

I really enjoyed this game, didn’t feel too long and everyone learned the rules quickly. Glad they have this version to opt out of the metal coins as I was more interested in adding a fun new game to the collection than spending on fancy pieces. I especially enjoyed the progression through the game as you pick up and leave the meeples during raids, it added a dynamic I haven’t seen in a game before and wasn’t expecting to enjoy so much.

Beautiful art, lots of strategy, easy to play. What else can you ask for in a board game? I had not paid much attention to this whole series of games until Amazon had it on sale for around $30. Read the reviews, and decided to give it a try. Rules are very well written and there are many Watch it Played type videos to look at. We were able to play pretty quickly. For an easy game to learn, decisions were not light at all. Games have been very competitive and scoring is very close. My 11 year old picked it up pretty quickly too. Art is amazing. Really good game.

Excelente jogo. Ótima qualidade do material. Gosto muito da mecânica dele.

Excelente juego. Parece que son muchas reglas, pero realmente es fácil de jugar

This is a great competitive strategy game with more than a few interesting features. Firstly, the artwork is excellent! The game board setup is clear and visually appealing, and the game took much less time to learn than other games of comparable complexity. It’s worker/placement except you leave your worker at an action and pick a different one up. Once you’ve built up a crew, you can go raid and pillage, and the dice add an element of luck on your raids, but not too much that it makes or breaks the game. It’s a well-designed game that plays smoothly and is lovely to look at - definitely recommended!

It looks great, plays great, easy to teach but makes you think on your feet. It comes with metal coins too which do make a surprising difference. Recommended.

Shem philip has been designing some wonderful games and this one is probably his masterpiece. The place one worker-take that action-pick up one worker- take that action works horribly good. The theme is quite strong. Being a Viking game you first have to prepare for your raids and recruit people into your raiding party. Then go out and rade the lands on the other side of the water, bring back bounty and pay offerings to your chieftain to gain VPs. This is easily my favourite game and it comes out on the table the most. I do tend to like Paladins of the West Kingdom (by the same designer) more but its a fairly heavier game than this one and is not usualy the people's choice on game nights. I would also like to mention that the quality of the components is amazing and the art work is really crisp. It is all wodden tokens with only 2 sheets of punch outs and to my surprise you get METAL COINS in the retail version as well.i repeat METAL COINS in the retail version. Being a viking themed game people do complain about no PvP conflict but then again every player is part of a viking tribe so there really is no need for a personal conflict atleast as far as the theme is concerned. If possible, buy boardgames from Boardgamesindis.com, Boardway India or My Games. These people deal in 100% authentic games only. There are a few sellers out there selling counterfeit games.
