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.

Great worker placement game with a unique take, where there is no refresh phase. You are always placing one meeple and taking one and doing the action(s) of both the meeple you placed and picked up. Gameplay is very smooth as a result. The game is fairly simple overall, so it doesnt take long to teach and is fairly beginner friendly.

Whether a game is easy or difficult to learn is relative to how much game boarding you do. I would say this was medium difficult to learn—about the equivalent of learning Wingspan, maybe slightly more complex. And similar set up time for the game. For new players, it was quite slow moving at the beginning, and lots of confusion—even after we all watched a Youtube video explaining it. A few players were ready to abandon it after 45 minutes or so. But the game did speed up, and as players caught on, it became more interesting. I’m sure subsequent plays would move much faster. There were a lot of actions/potential actions on the cards that never came into play for any players, and it was hard for me to see that they would ever be significant, even for experienced players. So I would say the game seems unbalanced. The game might be improved by streamlining the options. The version I played had really nice quality coins/meeples/objects, but I think it might have been a Kickstarter version. One really bad decision the game designers made was to make the “workers” black, gray, and white, with the “black workers” doing most of the menial tasks, and the “white workers” necessary for doing the high level raiding. Too many times in the game players uttered things like “I can’t do that, I only have a black worker,” or “I really need a white worker.” Really, they couldn’t have anticipated this and made the workers magenta, teal and orange, or some other color scheme?

Easy to learn and a new challenge each time you play.

Great game Enough said Artwork is great the Worker place/pull action mechanism is genius.

Great worker placement game! Strong theme and easy to learn for a mid weight game

My whole family likes this game. Its a fun worker placement game. I like the mechanics of placing and taking a work piece every time you play. Love the theme. I plan on buying more games in this saga.

Awesome game!

Love this game!

Very good game. Worker placement with collection to pay for viking raids. Played it today with one other person it was really great. I would like to play it again with more players and see how it works. I have already kickstarted the 2 expansions for this game.
