You may remember earlier in the year we reported that Dire Wolf Digital were working on a fair few digital boardgame ports<\/a>, including everything from Mage Knight<\/em> to Wings of Glory<\/em>. Raiders of the North Sea <\/em>by designer Shem Phillips (Garphill Games) was one game mentioned, and we\u2019re very excited to learn<\/a> that it\u2019ll be landing on our mobile shores as soon as next Tuesday.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an official game page<\/a> you can check out, as well as some teaser footage:<\/p>\n

Raiders of the North Sea<\/em> is actually the second game in a trilogy themed on the Viking-age, with Raiders<\/em> representing Scandinavian raiding activities for much of the 8th<\/sup> & 9th<\/sup> Centuries. It\u2019s essentially a worker placement game, with you needing to slowly build up your resources and crew cards so you can tackle bigger and better challenges for victory points; the person with the most being crowned the winner. It\u2019s a four player exercise (an expansion for the physical game did bring it up to five, so maybe we\u2019ll see that at some point), and multiplayer will be both live and asynchronous, as well as featuring cross-platform play between iOS, Android PC and Switch.<\/p>\n

It looks like there\u2019ll be plenty to keep you busy outside of the main gamemode as well:<\/p>\n

  • Turn-Based Strategy lets you play at your own pace!<\/li>\n
  • Learn the Oars in a full tutorial that teaches you the strategy of the game!<\/li>\n
  • Explore the North Sea in a 10-game campaign!<\/li>\n
  • Lead Your People in single-player games against AI opponents!<\/li>\n
  • Rise to Greatness in multiplayer battles!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Dire Wolf obviously will have the other games mentioned in the original story to contend with, but you can also add another potential project to the list \u2013 Architects of the West Kingdom<\/em>. This is the first entry in a follow-up series of games by the same designer, and in replies to their tweet about Raider’s <\/em>release date they seem to some-what confirm there may be scope for them to work on Garphill’s <\/em>latest creation:
    <\/em><\/p>\n

    Personally, I\u2019d much rather they tackle Explorers of the North Sea<\/em>, the third game in the North Sea Trilogy<\/em>, but to be honest Mr. Phillips create such good products that so long as he’s getting love and exposure, I don\u2019t mind what\u2019s being worked on.<\/p>\n

    We\u2019re working on getting review code as we speak, so hopefully our review will be ready at launch.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
