Althing (2021)

About this game

The Vikings's king is dying without leaving a successor. Helped by a clan of Trolls, speed up the other players in this race for the throne. At every step, strengthen your team by recruiting the right Vikings at the right time. Reach the Althing first to be crowned. On your turn, complete the step, or recruit new Vikings to your assembly. Unless you want to trick your opponent or all at once. Althing is an epic race with deckbuilding an rolling hand, for 2 or 3 players, with a great replayability. Althing can also be played in single player mode against a fictional player. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 3. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
