Renegade Game Studios 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle - Raiders of The North Sea - Conquest, 26 x 19 inches, Features Art from The Critically Acclaimed Board Game, Raiders of The North Sea, Age 10 & Up

Raiders of the North Sea is a worker placement with clever mechanics that is all about looking at what needs to be accomplished in order to win. To win players need to gather victory points by conquering locations, trading in loot for victory points, and sacrificing their Vikings to Valkyrie for a glorious death. The game works by having players place their Viking worker on a space in order to do an action, but then follows this up with the player needing to remove a worker from the board and obtaining another action. This works phenomenally as players are always able to do something on their turn with the only issue being the order of play. Some players may want to gather income first before recruiting, except the income area already has a worker placed by a previous player. The game plays rather quickly as a four player game can end in an hour. The different ways players can obtain victory points can help them turn the tide in their favor. Great game that is fast with pieces that make a person think it is a kickstarter release as money are metal coins, and a lot of wooden bits for gold, Valkyries, livestock, and ore.

I think this game is a good blend of strategy and luck. I would like to try an expansion to add some depth.

A friend found us their copy of this game and we immediately loved it! It’s a bit simpler than our usual games (lords of waterdeep, terraforming mars, above and below series), but we love it nonetheless! But both expansions and they are great add-ons to the base game.

A really solid worker-placement game with a really solid ruleset. For the price point, I cant recommend many other games that can do as much as it does. Each turn is taken by first placing your one worker, gaining the effect of the location you placed them (earning provisions/silver/crew/etc) and then finishing your turn by removing a worker on the board, also gaining its effect. You can choose to raid instead at the beginning of your turn if you have the requirements (crew size/provisions/gold), and youll gain VP and resources as a reward. Theres so much more beneath that and competing against the other raiders for the same locations under constraints like that is super fun.

Awesome game!

I have played a couple of times, it is easy to learn and my 10 and 9 year old both have the hang of the rules. My only complaint is that it is too bear & pretzel s for my taste.

Love this game!

Really awesome game! We needed a new game after getting bored of waterdeep. (Best game of all Time) but I love how raiders makes you think so much.

One of the better worker placement games out there. It’s very easy to learn, and it plays at a good pace. It takes about 60-90 minutes to play a full game.

An excellent worker placement game that was well received by a non-gamer audience. Easy to teach and one of the new players said it reminded him of a video game.
