Hey DTM, in my videos I focus on teaching, and don't weigh in on player experiences, or opinion based assessments because I find they are always so varied. One group will think a game is too "take that", another will say there's isn't enough. Sorry I can't be a help in that area.
@coasteray15 жыл бұрын
Do the Vikings ever really have a decent chance of "losing" a raid anywhere, which looks like it would be the failure to acquire the minimum battle points to score the lowest VP? I kind of get the impression that you just pay a certain amount of resources and make sure that your crew is strong enough, and that the dice are just nothing more than sort of a little extra "oomph" if you think you might need it. If that's the case, it just doesn't feel like there is much of any uncertainty in a raid. Just waltz in and get your reward. Our do we have to assume that the Vikings can never lose because of the fear they instill and also for their great warrior prowess? I'd like to see some real tension in these raids. If I'm wrong, please explain to clarify this. In all other respects, this looks like one really cool game. Thanks much for such a great presentation 🙂
@WatchItPlayed5 жыл бұрын
This is a tough one to answer, as it will depend on your groups play style. Everyone can wait until they have enough strength to be sure of a success, but taking a lucrative spot first can be advantageous, so it depends on how long you’re willing to wait to build up your forces, relative to the other players.
@coasteray15 жыл бұрын
Okay. I guess the actual playing out of the game will bring these dynamics into view. I'm quite sure the game was designed carefully to make sure it works properly. Thanks, Rodney. Keep up the good work.

This looks like a simplified version of Champions of Midgard. Same theme, build resources/ship crew/go raiding.
@coasteray15 жыл бұрын
Yeah. Same foundation and processes as you said, and Champions does have that interesting press-your-luck side to it. That was done on purpose. Basically a hybrid of Euro and "Ameritrash". I think it's great to have two Viking games that both offer a different take on things. Nice to have some real variety out there in "gameland". I like that Champions has us go after all kinds of beasties that are more life-threatening, and thus the dice mechanism to reflect that (though there are mitigations available, especially now through the expansions). Raiders has more of the Euro flavor to it, but still does well with the theme. I think these are both excellent games, and the consensus seems to be that the expansions really open them both up well.

Funny enough, this is the one game of the trilogy I don't have cos me and a buddy got all three together when Explorers was on Kickstarter and we decided that if we wanna play it as a trilogy, we'd get together with all three of our games, if not, he keeps Raiders while I keep Shipwright and Explorers ^o^ (I got the Runesaga expansion too so that we can play all 3 games as a campaign)
@CoxJul7 жыл бұрын
what I like about the trilogy is: ~ they change scale, from village life building ships in #1 through raiding in this #2 to a broader exploration in #3 (perhaps finding Canada!) ~ the theme but also a number of elements are consistent throughout including: use of icons and of course the brilliant art by The Mico. ( see Valeria set of card games for more of his work). ~ the final Time Saga expansion to all three that lets you turn the! into a campaign. Watch out for a new Kickstarter by When/Garphill in 2017 offering more expansions -also allowing you to pick up core games.
