Go on an adventure in the world of the Vikings and work as a trader, hunter or plunderer. Build houses, discover distant lands and contribute to the celebration of Odin every round. In this grand strategic game, Uwe Rosenberg takes you to a bygone era. A variety of action options and equipment cards for your Northmen guarantee a unique game, where you try to optimize the possibilities on your player board every time! “Odin” is a saga in the form of a board game. You relive the cultural successes, trading expeditions and plunderings of the tribes we now know as “Vikings”. This term came to be used very differently around the end of the first millennium. When the northerners went on a plundering expedition they said they were going on a "viking". The Scandinavian ancestors, however, were much more than ordinary pirates. They were explorers, traders and founders of states. Leif Eriksson was probably the first European in America, long before Columbus. In the region now called Normandy, the invaders were not called Vikings but “Normans”. One of them was the famous William the Conqueror who invaded England in 1066. He achieved what the King of Norway could not achieve a few years earlier: conquering the English throne. The fact that the people of that time became good sailors had to do with the fact that it was difficult to live from agriculture alone. Major crop shortages caused much suffering. In this game you can plunder and discover new areas. You also experience what everyday life was like by collecting goods that give you a strong position in society. Ultimately, the game is won by the player whose possessions are worth the most.

Scythe The Rise of Fenris is a campaign expansion to the board game Scythe. In The Rise of Fenris, players go through the story of Fenris in eight different scenarios. Because one or more new parts are added to the game in each episode, you will have 11 modules after the campaign that you can add to the basic game. The various additions remain a surprise for the players, because they are packed in boxes. This makes it very easy to reset the entire campaign and play it again. To play this Scythe expansion, you need the Scythe base game. The Games Friends: “ Scythe The Rise of Fenris is one of the best expansions we know. Because a lot is added to the base game (of course we can't reveal anything, but trust us, it's fantastic!), you can just keep playing Scythe. In addition, there is a very good story in The Rise of Fenris, making this expansion indispensable for the true Scythe fan! ”
