Raiders of the North Sea board game review

Recruit your crew, gather supplies, and set off to raid unsuspecting settlements for gold, iron, and livestock — because you’re Viking Raiders!

At least, you can pretend to be in Raiders of the North Sea.

There are various ways to gain points that impress the Chieftain. And if you earn the most points, you’ll come out victorious over the other Viking crews.

Do you have what it takes to become the most impressive Viking leader in the North Sea?

Get with the flow in The River

Living in the Western United States, we’re very familiar with Pioneers. In fact, many of our ancestors were pioneers who helped settle the West.

So games about pioneers have a certain draw for me. The good news is that The River, by Days of Wonder, is a good family board game.

It’s relatively quick to play, keeps players engaged throughout, and has a good balance of luck and strategy.

Check it out!
