Fire and Axe: A Viking Saga Review - with Sam Healey

[@s4usea]

I was looking for a general Viking game as I already have Champions of Mid Guard and Blood Rage and picked it up last week based on your rec. Glad I did as it's lots of fun, and I can see it being a go-to game for a long time to come. Thanks!

Sam, thanks for the comments regarding color-blindness. My brother-in-law is colorblind and I do most of my gaming with him. Much appreciated.

I’m tempted to get this just to “deluxe” my original.

Is it me or did he forget to review the gameplay?

[@TylerAndToast]

About to play it. You forgot to teach how the weather works

I felt like this could've been an opportunity to show the old and new board together to make your point about the artwork. Also, in the past I've heard you speak about how dark the artwork was in the reprint. I thought you were referring to the blood and gore content. You're literally speaking of the dark tones used. I can see how the dark reddish and greenish hues on the reprint board would disappear to a color blind person.

Comparison video coming next week.

After years of listening to you hype this game, the IDW edition finally made it readily available for me. Now that I've bought it, they should consider paying you royalty checks :P

[@panagos302]

How does the game compare to Merchants and Marauders? Or are they two entirely different games? Fire and Axe is on Massdrop right now for 25$ bucks

This is an older review so I'm wondering if they have changed the graphics? I would love to get this game for my family but my son struggles with color blindness as well. There's no sense in getting a game that we can't all play together especially when he is the one that would probably most enjoy this game. Thanks for all of the reviews and top 10 visits you do, great information!

Well, you convinced me to add this to my wish list. I think my wife might actually like it (she's a sucker for miniatures). I know the publisher says it's a 90 minute game, but about how long has it taken you on average to play through? Sorry if I missed this in the video somewhere.

[@shanegordon9406]

A question about the game. Can you play Rune Cards at anytime or only on your turn?

[@davidbest4908]

You play Rune Cards anytime during your turn only

[@solomani-42]

13:28 gamer brain… after rolling high rolls (including sixes) the previous 6 times the one bad roll gets a comment 😊😅

[@DellamorteDellamore0]

I honestly didn't know they changed the graphic design THIS much. Wow. It's a total pass for me on that alone, I know a few people who have the first edition still so I guess I'll just live vicariously though them.

Sweden!

Another viking game.. well darnit I just gotta this one too. sigh.. haha. (I love 'em!). Thanks for your usual expertise on this one, Sam. I saw this at my local store a few times but never actually took the time to consider it for buying. I just thought it was a clone of some other game, basically. Once again, thanks very much, another one to add to my list.. !!

[@carlosc862]

So you can trade and next turn you raid the town? yup, Vikings alright. Nice review Sam :)

[@dougmoore4653]

guess it cannot be found anywhere :( what a loss

[@suaveclt]

Doug Moore I just bought it new. $46 on amazon

[@pickleshoes_prospector]

Is it just me or does he say "Hey fools!" instead of folks lol.
