A FEAST FOR ODIN: THE NORWEGIANS

After the explosive popularity of having a snack in honour of the god of war, there’s a general feeling amongst A Feast For Odin players that there were a few emergent strategies that were simply stronger than others – turning it, sometimes, into a land grab. Enter, The Norwegians, a modular expansion that loosens up the game with a market and optional actions, and tightens it up with less actions and faster play for two players. More islands to explore is also a nice bonus for repeated plays. Without The Norwegians, are you really having a feast?

A modular set of remixes for the classic Pandemic game that brings huge upgrades for a small box. Virulent strain makes the nastiest disease on the board much more difficult to deal with, which means it’s very easy to lose focus on the general clean up and focus on the big bad – this obviously gets out of hand quickly. A mutation can also be added, bringing a fifth disease to the board in random locations – a vicious and exciting addition. And finally, a mode where one player can play the disease is exactly as good as it sounds. Oh, there’s also pieces for a fifth player and some more events and roles, naturally.
