Vikings. The name conjures images of longships in the water, flashing swords, ruthless warriors without equal: a terror that stretched across the centuries and a thousand miles of raiding! Audacious souls competed for influence and support, making more daring raids each summer to bring honor and greater glory to their household. It was inevitable that instead of raiding east, as tradition dictated, a visionary would sail west - opening up rich, new lands for plunder. With increased powers comes the jarlship, if you can survive the machinations of others seeking the same destiny. Among the legendary warriors is Ragnar, the scourge of England and France and father to a host of renowned sons that would make rulers and kingdoms tremble for long years. Become that feared and legendary Viking whose name will live through the ages in Vikings: The Board Game, a strategy game of exploration and raiding for 2-5 players based upon the History Channel's hit dramatic series.
