Example of a Failed Raiding Attempt

You have a longship and take a “Raiding” action.

The amount of ore on your longship is irrelevant,

because you may not use it for raiding anyway. You

take the orange die and roll 4 on your rst roll, and 5 on the

second. You want to do better, but you only roll 3 on your nal

roll. If you spend 2 stone and 1 long sword, the most you could

get would be a battle result of 6, which is a rune stone. You

decide it is better to declare the raid a failure and take your

consolatory 1 stone and 1 long sword.

Pillaging

As with “Raiding”, you want to roll high when pillaging.

To do so, you must have a longship. If you have more than one

longship, you must use the longship with the most ore on it.

Success

When pillaging, add 1 to

your dice roll for each ore

on your longship (even

above 12), keeping the

ore. After you roll the blue

twelve-sided die, you can

take exactly one blue goods

tile with a sword value

equal to or lower than you

rolled.* You can spend stone

and long swords from your

supply to increase the roll

by 1 per item spent. This

modied value is considered

your “battle result”.

Failure

Your raid automatically

fails if your battle result is

5 or less. You may willingly

declare it a failure, regardless

of the result.

Upon failure, you receive

a consolatory 1 stone and

1 long sword**** from the

general supply. Additionally,

after each failed pillaging

attempt, you may return

1 Viking from the respective

action space to your Thing

Square and use it again later

that round.

The English Crown has the highest sword

value and is worth 2 points.

At the bottom left of the “Pillaging” action spaces,

you can see a Viking symbol and an arrow pointing

left. This is a reminder of the consolatory Viking you

receive upon failure.

* When taking a blue goods tile, you can take a regular blue tile

or one of the special tiles (on the oval supply board).

Example of a Successful Pillaging Attempt

You have a longship and 2 ore on it. You have 1 ore in your

supply, which you decide to place on the longship before you

take a “Pillaging” action. You take the blue die and roll 4 on

your rst roll. You could stop here, but you want to do better.

Your second roll is 6. Since you only have one roll left, you

decide to stop right here. You spend 1 long sword for a nal

battle result of 10: 6 from the roll, 3 from the ore on your

longship, and 1 from the long sword. With that battle result,

you take 1 “Jewelry” goods tile.

Hunting Game, Laying a Snare and Whaling

When hunting game and laying a snare, you roll the orange eight-

sided die. When whaling, you roll the blue twelve-sided die. In all

of these cases, you want to roll low.

Success

When whaling, reduce the

value of your roll by one for

each ore (even preprinted

ore) on the whaling boat(s)

you are using to perform the

action (you keep the ore).

This can lead to a negative

value; any negative value is

treated as a 0.

Then, in every case (Hunting

Game, Laying a Snare and

whaling), pay a number

of wood and/or proper

weapons** equal to this

value to declare a successful

action and receive the reward

depicted on the action

space.***

Failure

If you declare your attempt

at this action a failure, you

do not have to pay anything.

(You may not declare a result

of 0 as a failure.)

Upon failure, you receive

a consolatory 1 wood and

1 weapon**** of the proper

type** from the general

supply. Additionally, when

you fail laying a snare, you

may return 1 Viking from

the action space to your

Thing Square. When you

fail whaling, you may even

return 2 Vikings. You may

use the returned Vikings

again later that round.

Let us talk a little bit about the luck factor in this game. Rolling

dice is frowned upon in development games—with good

reason. In this game, failure is designed such that it is only

marginally worse than, for example, taking 2 stone (compared

to stone and long sword) or 2 wood (see failure in the next

section) from a mountain strip. When you fail,

your next roll is more likely to succeed. Bad

rolls do not prevent success, they just delay it

a little. For me, it is an essential part of the

game to provide that feeling of adventure.
