	Description Edit \| History

This is a game that spans the time of the Viking Sagas. The epic journeys that led Norsemen to raid, trade and settle over the known and unknown territories of the northern hemisphere. You command your warriors and map out your strategy - only the strongest, most courageous and luckiest will triumph.

The game was originally printed as Viking Fury by Ragnar Brothers.

Translations of the german cards into english

As the game seems more available in its german version, and "Drakkenshiv" and "Vikkingerr" sound way cool, i translated all Cards. For those who want to run rampant in designing card, i typed them in a handy doc format, ready to paste on custom made cards.

Five mini variants

In order to increase player interaction, expand upon the options that are available to players, and speed up the pace of the game, I have added 5 small rule changes which make the game more interesting (for me, anyways!) without adding a great deal of complication to what is meant to be a fairly simple and fun game. This file is 2 pages in Microsoft Word.
