Theme: Vikings

In Looot, you need to gather resources and capture buildings to develop your fjord. Fill your longships and complete your construction sites in order to rack up your victory points. Store up the most riches, and you’ll be crowned Jarl of the Vikings!

Looot is a clever management game, using a double placement mechanism.

On the Common board Players are Viking conquering a new territoy, which allows you to recover resource/building/objective tiles.

On your Personal board: You build your village with the tiles previously recovered fromthe Common board to unlock victory points.

It will call upon your optimization logic, favoring the best combinations for this race for victory points.

As a Jarl, you travel the northern seas to achieve immortal glory. Under the sails of your own ship, which is built like a karve (Karvi), you‘ll lead a crew, trade with foreign cultures and plunder other lands.

Strengthen the skills of your crew by upgrading your ship and hiring stronger warriors. Whether you wish to establish new trade routes to secure rare goods or battle distant settlements to plunder their riches, your path to glory is yours to choose. But make sure to remember to stock up on beer and bread, so you have enough supplies to outmaneuver the competing clans.

Successful planning will make you renowned throughout the lands, and secure your place in Norse legend as a fearless Jarl.

Als Jarl bereist du die nördlichen Meere, um unsterblichen Ruhm zu erlangen. Unter dem Segel deines eigenen Schiffs in der Bauart einer Karve (Karvi) führst du eine Crew an, handelst mit fremden Kulturen und plünderst Ländereien.

Verstärke die Fähigkeiten deiner Besatzung, indem du dein Schiff ausbaust und immer stärkere Kriegerinnen anheuerst. Ob du neue Handelsrouten etablierst, um dir seltene Handelsgüter zu sichern oder ob du gegen ferne Siedlungen in den Kampf ziehst und ihre Reichtümer plünderst, entscheidest du. Doch denke auch daran, dich mit genügend Vorräten an Bier und Brot
einzudecken, um die konkurrierenden Clans auszustechen.

Nur wenn du erfolgreich taktierst, wird man deinen Namen schließlich an genügend Orten kennen, um als Jarl in die nordischen Legenden einzugehen.

Ragnarocks is a 2-player area control game designed by Gord! - the designer of Santorini and Santorini: New York. In Norse mythology, humans exist in the land of Midgard - a place in the center of the world tree and connected to the nine realms. Among these nine realms live gods and goddesses, serpents and spirits, and all manner of mythical and mystical creatures.

In Ragnarocks you take on the role of a Viking clan using Runestones to mark your clan’s claims of land. In the advanced game, your clan worships one of these powerful beings from another realm who lends you their power to help you outwit rivals and claim territories for your clan.
At the end of the game, the clan who controls the most territory in Midgard wins!

A player's turn consists of a move phase and a summoning phase.
During the move phase you move one of your active Vikings any number of spaces in a straight line.
During the summoning phase you summon a runestone and place it on any space along a path following a straight line from the location of the Viking you moved. Whenever a summoning creates an encloses area containing only vikings of a single clan, that area becomes settles and belongs to the player whose clan occupies it.

When all vikings have settled, the player who controls the most territory wins.
