Product Description
Each player is the leader of a band of Vikings. His task is to scout and then settle the islands off the coast of his homeland. As the Vikings uncover the size and shape of the islands, each band seeks to control as much of these new lands as possible. The bands build yards and churches and invite goldsmiths, scouts, fishermen, and nobles to settle on their island to establish the most profitable settlements. But, warriors are also necessary! As, the islands soon attract ships bound to attack them to pillage the new settlements.Author: Michael Kiesling.

For Catan Lovers
By PerpetualPonderings
If you're into the European game craze the way my husband and I are, then go ahead and have no fear adding this one to your shelf. What we especially enjoy is the fact the game can be played within 45 min. once everyone is familiar with the rules. If you're not into long drawn out games, but still like the strategy-driven games, then Vikings is for you! I gave this to my husband for Christmas and we enjoyed playing it with family members.

Easy to learn and enjoyable
By M. Fonseca
This games delivers what it promises on the box cover: at about one hour you can play a complete game.The rules are very simple and explained brilliantly in a very well designed rules book. Components are also top notch.It is for four players maximum.Beware that this is no "blood battle" game. It's really a fun and family game, and also a very good gateway game intro to Eurogames strategy games.I highly recommend it.

Hooray to a new game!
By AJ Simons
I bought this game for my mom for Christmas this year. My family has always enjoyed playing traditional board games like Monopoly or Clue . . . whereas my husband and I tend to play Settlers of Catan, Carcossone, Dominion, etc. I hoped she would like it since we're descended from Vikings- and she did! My mom and sister play it regularly and it's transitioned her to play Settlers with me.
