Feast for Odin: A viking adventure with many possibilities
Go on an adventure in the world of the Vikings and work as a trader, hunter or plunderer. Build houses, explore distant lands and contribute to the feast in honor of Odin each round.
Uwe Rosenborg flicks it again with ODIN
In this grand strategic game, Uwe Rosenberg takes you (again) to a bygone era. That means a variety of action options and equipment cards for your Norsemen. As in Agricola, you discover new options every game. That ensures that no game is the same and you try to optimize your player board every time!
The saga of ODIN and origin of vikings
Odin is a saga in the form of a board game. You relive the cultural successes, trading expeditions and plundering of the tribes we now know as "Vikings." This term was used quite differently around the end of the first millennium. Namely, when the northerners went on a plundering expedition they said they were going on a "viking." Thus, however, Scandinavian ancestors were much more than mere pirates. They were explorers, traders and even founders of states! Leif Eriksson was probably the first European in the Americas, well before Columbus.
Conquering England
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. In doing so, he earned the title Conqueror, because he managed to do what the king of Norway failed to do several years before: conquer the English throne! So a great task for you in Odin!
The life of a viking is not about roses
The fact that the people of that time became good sailors had to do with the fact that it was hard to live on agriculture alone. Great shortages of crops caused much suffering. In Odin you can plunder and discover new areas. You also experience what everyday 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!
