About the game
This is a big box expansion for the Dutch market that contains two expansions (Hall of Heroes and Fields of Fame), the solo variant and some bonus cards. In Raiders of the North Sea: Hall of Heroes, a mead hall has been constructed, attracting a new breed of adventurers. Each raid brings new quests for the daring to endure. But with mead in abundance, there is little room for the wary, so sharpen your axe and ready your shield as new adventures await! In addition to including components for an extra player, Hall of Heroes has the new mead hall board, large player boards, mead, quests, reputation, and a variety of new townsfolk. In Raiders of the North Sea: Fields of Fame, enemy jarls have joined forces to help defend against the onslaught of raids on their settlements. But despite their threats, there is fame awaiting those who seek to kill or subdue them. Encountering a jarl is sure to bring injury, but now is no time for the faint-hearted. Onwards to the battlefield! In addition to including components for an extra player, Fields of Fame also includes the new township board, enemy jarl tokens and cards, fame, damage and a variety of new townsfolk. —description from the publisher
