Despre acest joc

Viking Invaders is an addictive turn-based strategy war game for 1, 2, 3 or 4 (any combination of human and/or computer) players.

Have your Vikings advance from their castles, fight with swords, board boats and sail down the Fjord, attack castles, seize gold from treasure chests and fire catapults.

Choose from Gunnar the Great, Freya the Fearless, Axel the Atrocious, Olli the Odious, and then fight against your opponents
(select each to be a Human or CPU or excluded).

Play against one another or team up as 2 vs 2 - in a hotseat game.

A FUN game that can start lots pf arguments :)

VIKING WARRIORS

Your most important resource! Use to fight enemies and capture enemy Castles.

Board a longboat to be an archer from the sea or storm defenses!

VIKING LONGBOATS

Boats can be used to transport armies across the Fjord, or to fire arrows from the boat.

CATAPULTS

Catapults may be moved & fired once each turn, after selecting the direction and distance.

DRINKING HORNS

Beware the evils of drink! If a Viking walks into (and empties) a drinking horn they will become uncontrollable!

GOLD

Each HUMAN player starts the game with a Gold hoard of 50 coins. Depending on your financial situation at the time, you can buy one boat and one catapult each turn, and as many armies as will fit in the space around your castle. You can increase your spending power by carrying treasure from a treasure chest to your castle.

TACTICS

The following are some tactics that can be tried, and the names of the people who use them:

• The Explorer: Buys lots of boats
  
• The Socialite: Seems to encounter a lot of drinking horns and has more drunken army than sober
  
• Tea-Totaller: Uses the catapults to destroy the drinking horns
  
• Stone Thrower: Buys lots of catapults
  
• The Techno-Phobe: Never buys a catapult (too High-Tech!)
  
• The Watcher: Keeps out of fights, builds up an enormous army and waits until the other players have virtually eliminated each other
  
• The Hoarder: Keeps on bringing back treasure to build up the Gold hoard
  
• The Spoiler: Stops the Miser by catapulting at the treasure box
  
• The Bridgedeer: Places boats to make a static bridge, to move armies across the Fjord
  
• The Unlikely Hero: A drunken Viking who attacks and destroys an enemy castle
  
• The Troublemaker: Attacks ALL the other players in the same turn

  Move Turn
  - Position units to defend your castle.
  - Attack other enemy units
