Wild Vikings
Vikings return with treasure, and the cleverest bidder takes the most jewels.
Who it's for
Kids aged six and up, and adults who play along. The bidding is easy to follow and ends quickly enough for another round.
Not for you if…
You want a deep strategy game. It is a light bidding game with dice, and luck plays a large part.
Vibe's take
Quick, bluff-lite and a bit greedy. Children enjoy the loot and the dice, and adults get a short bidding puzzle with a bit of banter.
About this game
Wild Vikings is a children's game about divvying up loot with just the right amount of nerve. A Viking ship docks with its treasure, and the players with the best-fitting equipment cards win the jewels, so you collect your gear and bid at the right moment. Don't show too many cards, and don't get greedy, or someone cleverer will snatch the haul. It plays in about 15 minutes from age six, with dice and a bit of real-time pressure. Whoever has the most jewels at the end of the game wins. Two to five players, with four or five working best.
