Outside, the ships are ready to collect loot, while in the center stand the barrels. These are knocked over with a massive ball, but please aim carefully. Above the village runs a walkway. The color of the knocked-over barrels determines how each player's chip is moved. Ideally, there are rewards to be gained. However, those who are unlucky enough to fall off the end of the walkway into the water trigger the round scoring for the others and end up empty-handed. "Valley of the Vikings" is an exciting loot raid where players can simply jump in with skill. The tactical considerations during the positional battle on the walkway become clearer with increasing experience and guarantee long-lasting fun. Everyone wants to get started - and thanks to the beautiful materials, everyone can. Anyone can roll the barrels. They fly, and joy abounds. The nuances are learned almost instantly. And if things go awry, it doesn’t increase frustration but rather fuels the ambition for another round.
