About the game
In 825, a band of Vikings set off on a journey that took them much longer than expected. Starting with a small group of Vikings, your band and possibilities will grow with each round. But the demand of your community for food and taxes will grow alike. In this worker placement game, you will explore and trade with new territories. You will also engage in the day-to-day activity of breeding animals, collecting goods and hunting with which to achieve a steady income and victory points. In the end, the player with the most victory points will be declared the winner. —description from the publisher
Questions and answers
The Danes supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for The Danes is 90–180 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists The Danes for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
The Danes has a complexity rating of 4.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a heavy game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
