I love playing this game on Board Game Arena. I feel like there are a lot of mistakes that can be made playing this game physically (like the few things that were missed in this playthrough) but in BGA all those things are taken care of automatically so it's a nice quick engine builder that I can knock out in 5 minutes when I'm on a break from work.
Those are different types of cards. One is the recruits and the others are near and far exploration decks. Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln
When spending a Viking card or cards from a column to gain a land or boat card, do u have to spend only the last one u played or can it be any of the cards you built up
You choose which cards you spend for an explore action. So, you look at the cards you have recruited and spend those that you are less likely to need in future.
@@EvanSawyer4 Yes, we make these mistakes intentionally to fully recreate what a REAL game night might be like. Yeah, that's it. We do this on purpose 😉
@@davidarnott6085 lol, definitely! Now for real, we only notice this stuff because we aren’t playing. In the moment, it’s a different story. You guys did great and now I want this game.
Seems in the Viking world its all about the rep - great easy engine building game. Also interesting not much war, blood, raiding and pillaging for a Viking game just exploring (plus bonus points for no horned helmets)
Not sure what made me think so .. but watching youtube videos(in relatively short time ) that were recorded years apart - viewers have the unique perspective on changes happening to the people in the video. ( in other words, you might not have noticed how much weight people gained over some time ( if you're with them every day ) as in contrast to if you would meet that person once a year. )Anywya , for some odd reason .. my brain is telling me that the "guy explaining the rules " ( Dave ?> ) - seems to look in better shape. Funnyly enough, i can't place my finger on a single specific characteristics that changed, but my brain advised.. so I'm passing the information further :D
Based on the final chat, looking at all the cards, the deck seems very uneven. And going for yellow looks like quite a disadvantage. Not quite sure if this game is quite balanced if players know that upfront.
Such a gem
Brilliant game
Love this one. Such a great game!

So dumb question when they draw a new card to the left of Niki I see a red, green and blue deck..is there one for purple and yellow?

Very cool game, and the artwork was great 😊
Mike is great. Has he ever taught a game? He should!
Mike just taught us Path of Civilization a few weeks back. He did an amazing job.
Amazing video, as always
Looks nice and smooth.
Seems like a fun and easy gams
Nice simple engine builder.
At 16:42 Nikki took the green when she should have taken the purple from the green column.
Looks like knarrly game.

There have been some mistakes
Lincoln spent a token for a free card and there was a spot Niki should have got 3 recruited but only got 2
I think there was also a time where Mike spent bracelets and was owed a card off the top of the recruit deck but didn’t take it.

@@EvanSawyer4 I was tired of taking cards!
Shout out to Comic Readers in Regina Canada who exposed me to this game. A real gem. So good I bought it immediately.
Nice game 😊

AND bonus points for no two-handed swords, aka long swords.

Got to admit I had low interest in this game from looking at photo's of it, but this video sells the game better.
