Vikingaspelet társasjáték

Angol leírás

The game is played on a slanted grid using three pieces to a player, representing viking longships; the goal is to cross the playing field to your opponent's starting spaces the fastest. Each turn a die is rolled, with an odd result usually resulting in moving one ship one space, and an even result meaning a lost turn. Opposing ships block but do not capture each other. Some spaces require a specific die result to enter, and other spaces are effectively forbidden, sending a piece back to the start if for some unexplained reason you should enter them.

The game is nominally for 2-4 players, representing the vikings of Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark, but it would not be fair to play with 3, since the board is effectively divided in half and with 4 players the two pairs interact very weakly except for the racing aspect.

There is no year of publication, but the Alga logo (or lack of one) suggests the 1940s or 1950s.
