Publisher: Feuerland Spiele
Set off on an adventure in the world of the Vikings and get to work as a trader, hunter or raider. Build houses, discover distant lands and contribute to the feast in honour of Odin every round.
In this grand strategy game, Uwe Rosenberg takes you (once again) to a bygone era. That means a wide variety of action options and equipment cards for your Norsemen. Just like in Agricola, you discover new options in every game. That means no two games are the same, and you try to optimise your player board again and again!
Odin is a saga in the form of a board game. You relive the cultural successes, the trading expeditions and the raids of the tribes we now know as "Vikings". That term was used very differently around the end of the first millennium. When the northerners went off on a raid, they said they were going on a "viking". The Scandinavian ancestors were much more than ordinary pirates, though. They were explorers, traders and even founders of states! Leif Eriksson was probably the first European in America, long before Columbus.
In the region now called Normandy, the invaders were not called Vikings but "Normans". One of them was the famous William the Conqueror, who invaded England in 1066. That earned him the title Conqueror, because he managed what the king of Norway had failed to do a few years earlier: winning the English throne! A fine challenge for you in Odin, then!
The people of that time became good sailors partly because it was hard to live on farming alone. Major crop shortages caused a lot of suffering. In Odin you can raid and discover new territories. You also experience what daily life was like by collecting goods that give you a strong(er) position in society. In the end, the game is won by the player whose possessions are worth the most!
