Raids

In Raids, players embark on an exciting journey through the Viking world, exploring islands and facing mythical creatures in search of glory and treasure. Each game consists of four rounds filled with strategy where every decision counts. At the start of each round, you'll see several tiles laid out in a path that all players must follow. When it's your turn, you can move to an empty spot to claim a piece or to an occupied spot, but be prepared to fight! If you opt for combat, you'll have to sacrifice a Viking and the defender will have to decide whether to sacrifice two Vikings or abandon the site. Collect runes, secure sets of the same kind or gather goods, which can be sold at the end of the round. In addition, accumulating axes is important to increase your chances of defeating monsters, while collecting Vikings strengthens your crew. At the end of each round, players score points based on the pieces they have managed to capture, and at the end of the four rounds, the player with the most points is crowned the winner. Raids isn't just a strategy game; it's an opportunity to live the Viking adventure and try it out with friends.

GAME mechanics

  • Collecting Sets - In Raids, players work to gather valuable items that make up specific sets. Each complete set offers bonuses and points, and is crucial to maximizing the final score. My personal experience is that focusing on this aspect can turn the game in your favor.
  • Hand Management - Each player must carefully decide which cards to keep in their hand. The cards available influence your future actions and interactions with the board, making it a vital strategic exercise. Imagine being at a fair where every choice defines your success or failure.
  • Point-to-Point Movement - The Raids board is full of epic adventures. Each move requires careful planning, as the path you choose can open up opportunities or block your opponents' advances. It's like navigating a labyrinth where each fork hides secrets.
  • Take that - Attentions seek to damage opponents with incisive actions, forcing them to rethink their strategies. This mechanic adds an element of surprise and direct rivalry, something that gives a special spice to the most competitive games.
