Hägar ruft zum Beutefest (1989)

About this game

The best thing Hägar knows is how to travel to foreign countries and loot whatever he can reach. The Vikings set sail from the harbors of the Nordic countries and travel across Europe to loot the rich cities. On the way they encounter dangerous adventures and the destiny of their Gods. Anything can happen. Hägar and his companions don't hesitate to steal from each other or even to shoot arrows at each other. At home their wives have waited for a long time for their tired warriors to return with the loot. So the Vikings don't know until the pillaging celebration who has the most valuable loot. The game ends, when one Viking returns after 7 successful lootings. Most wealth wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
