    *Listening to the Church Module recap.*
    Sounds like what happened in the actual time period. One Viking Jarl wanted to take cities. Another wanted to rob churches. English hated both happening and kicked the Vikings out with renewed vigor.

    After 10 days of delivery time, and two weeks of trying to find a day in which me and my friends could play this, yesterday night i finally got to try this game.
    And i have to thank you Quinns, like a lot, because this is the first war game i play and i had a total blast with it! I sincerely hope that Academy Games will give us some other episodes of the birth of Europe saga if this is the quality level!
    Anyway this is not the first game i buy thanks to SU&SD (Secrets, Cosmic Encounter, Azul, Magic Maze, Fugitive, Concordia, Pandemic Legacy S1 and probably a couple other things) but i dont usualy comment onto any videos, but while i was writing down my bgg review of 878 thee, oh prancing Quinns, popped to my mind and i had to thank you not just there but here.
    I started following you since your Root review and never let go after it, you guys make me fall into this hobby even more and i found the humor perfectly suiting mine (had to use the "how many vikings?!" while playing and it delivered).
    Thanks, once again, and sorry for this very big comment,
    Ciao from Italy :D

    Didn't mention the boat ships expansion, I thought that one seemed neat and unintrusive. Basically when a viking lands you drop a ship token, ship tokens allow Vikings to jump between them like portals, English can attack the ships to cut off supply routes, and I believe another win condition if they wipe them all out.

    @josephhicklin7313 6 лет назад

    I've loved 1775 for years for these exact reasons:
    The gameplay is fast.
    You can utilize high strategy with troop movement.
    Random turn order could be a benefit or a detriment, which gives randomness that doesn't detract from the strategy you so perfectly planned.
    And finally, the different armies have different dice, meaning it's not just simple Risk throws of win or lose, but you can actually feel victorious when you 'lose' a dice roll.
    Bringing in Vikings to this game is a solid win in my book.

    I actually like three or four. With three, we did two as the Brits and the Vikings together. We found if the Berserkers didn't go first in a turn, then they didn't have a lot to do. Remember that if there is a battle with a Berserker, the first one has to be red (berserker). Also, with no flees, the reds don't get many pieces. Finally, we only play with the churches and forts expansion. That one seems to be necessary. Overall we really like this game. Good review.
