A Feast for Odin is a saga in the form of a board game. You are reliving the cultural achievements, mercantile expeditions, and pillages of those tribes we know as Viking today — a term that was used quite differently towards the end of the first millennium.When the northerners went out for a raid, they used to say they headed out for a viking. Their Scandinavian ancestors, however, were much more than just pirates. They were explorers and founders of states. Leif Eriksson is said to be the first European in America, long before Columbus.In what is known today as Normandy, the intruders were not called Vikings but Normans. One of them is the famous William the Conqueror who invaded England in 1066. He managed to do what the king of Norway failed to do only a few years prior: conquer the Throne of England. The reason why the people of these times became such strong seafarers is due to their unfortunate agricultural situation. Crop shortfalls caused great distress.In this game, you will raid and explore new territories. You will also experience their day-to-day activities: collecting goods to achieve a financially secure position in society. In the end, the player whose possessions bear the greatest value will be declared the winner.A Feast for Odin - What's In The Box 2 Goods Boxes 1 Orange Eight-Sided Die 1 Blue Twelve-Sided Die 1 Large Action Board 4 Home Boards 1 Supply Board 4 Two-Sided Exploration Boards 1 Special Tile Board 15 Special Tiles 2 Extension Tiles (for the action board) 1 Round Overview Tile 3 'Shed' Building Tiles 3 'Stone House' Building Tiles 5 'Long House' Building Tiles 8 Mountain Strips 32 Ship Tiles 10 Whaling Boats 12 Knarrs 10 Longships 125 Silver Coins 80 Value '1' 22 Value '2' 18 Value '4' 5 Value '10' 32 Wood Tokens 24 Stone Tokens 40 Ore Tokens 48 Vikings (12 for each player) 1 Brown Start Player Moose 1 White Round Tracking Cube 45 Starting Occupation Cards (Light Brown) 145 Occupation Cards (Dark Brown) 47 Red Weapon Cards 7 'Thing Penalty' Tiles 117 Food Tiles 25 Peas/Mead 20 Flax/Stockfish 20 Beans/Milk 20 Grain/Salt Meat 17 Cabbage/Game Meat 15 Fruits/Whale Meat 196 Equipment Tiles 43 Oil/Rune Stone 30 Hide/Silverware 30 Wool/Chest 20 Linen/Silk 20 Skin and Bones/Spices 20 Fur/Jewelry 18 Robe/Treasure Chest 15 Clothing/Silver Hoard Animal Tiles 18 Sheep/Pregnant Sheep 15 Cattle/Pregnant Cattle 12 Plastic Bags 1 Appendix 1 Almanac 1 Rulebook Show more
