Who has what it takes to be king?
Do you have the merchant network, spiritual sway and explorer bravery needed to become the first King of Sweden?
Looking for a Viking strategy board game with card-driven gameplay and epic choices? In Pax Viking, you shape your saga across the Viking world, from North America to China. Choose your destiny as mechant, explorer, spiritual leader or traditionalist. Trade with distant lands, forge alliances with gods and rulers, and build your legend one card at a time.
This strategic, card-driven board game features a plethora of cards for replayability, market dynamics, map movement, and asymmetric development paths. Every choice impacts your influence and brings you closer to the win through one of the common, randomized victory conditions.
With rich historical themes, asymmetric player powers, and dynamic market mechanics, Pax Viking offers a deep and rewarding strategy experience.
How to play Pax Viking?
Pax Viking is a card-driven game where you compete over cards in a common market in combination with the strategic movement of longships on the map. You can play cards you buy on map locations you control through your longships, create trading posts, claim benefits from events, and more.
You can also play cards on your jarlboard, adding abilities to your player through friends, allies, and gods. In the east, you will explore and develop the regions and trade routes. In the west, you can find powerful allies and gods to help you. Through your actions, you collect followers to give you power and influence for your final bid: to be the first king of Sweden.
