Ein Fest für Odin
German
Description
A Feast for Odin is a grand saga in the form of a board game. You relive the cultural achievements, expeditions, and ventures of the people we now call Vikings. At the end of the first millennium, the term meant far more than raiding alone. These northern societies were explorers, traders, and founders of states, driven by harsh agricultural conditions and frequent crop failures.
Historical figures such as Leif Eriksson, believed to have reached America long before Columbus, and William the Conqueror, who seized the English throne in 1066, embody this era. In A Feast for Odin, this diversity is reflected through gameplay. You raid and explore new territories, manage daily production, hunt, trade, and build a prosperous society.
The game is heavily driven by victory points and offers a vast number of paths to success. At the center of your strategy lies your main hall, which begins with a large number of negative points. A major part of the game involves covering these spaces with various goods tiles. Longhouses and island colonies can provide great rewards, but they also come with penalties that must be carefully managed.
Each year follows a familiar structure of preparation, worker placement, and hosting a feast. During the main phase, you assign your Vikings to a massive action board featuring more than 60 different actions. These actions are arranged in columns, with more powerful options requiring additional workers.
At the end of each round, you must supply your feast with sufficient food. You also place valuable green and blue tiles into your main hall, aiming not only to eliminate penalties but also to uncover income lines and surround printed symbols to generate ongoing benefits.
A Feast for Odin is a deep and expansive strategy game full of meaningful choices. Players who carefully balance risk and reward, plan their actions efficiently, and find the right harmony between expansion, hunting, and development will emerge victorious with the most valuable holdings.
