Renegade Game Studios will be releasing the Viking themed Raiders of the North Sea into game stores on October 11th. Two to four players will lead their crews as they look to plunder settlements as each vies to score the most victory points in order to impress their chieftain. The entire Raiders saga will be available in November as two expansions for the core game will arrive on the scene, as I discussed on the latest episode of The Other Guys. Raiders of the North Sea is for ages 12+, plays in about 60-80 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $50.00.
From Renegade:
Raiders of the North Sea is set in the central years of the Viking Age. As Viking warriors, players seek to impress the Chieftain by raiding unsuspecting settlements. Players will need to assemble a crew, collect provisions and journey north to plunder gold, iron and livestock. There is glory to be found in battle, even at the hands of the Valkyrie. So gather your warriors, it’s raiding season!
The aim of Raiders of the North Sea is to impress the Chieftain by having the most Victory Points (VP) at the game’s end. Victory Points are gained primarily by raiding Settlements, taking Plunder and making Offerings to the Chieftain. How players use their Plunder is also vital to their success. The game ends when either only 1 Fortress raid remains, all Valkyrie are removed, or all Offerings have been made.
