Episode 24: Raiding and Trading: Finding the Balance in “Fire and Axe: A Viking Saga”
This week, the PlayEd Podcast triumphantly returns! We discuss “Fire and Axe: A Viking Saga” by IDW Games, a raiding and trading game where players traverse Europe as Northmen, winning victory points through sacking cities or sitting on sacks (of trade goods). Finding the right balance is part of the fun, but all is subject to chance and the way the wind is blowing.
Games Mentioned:
Fire and Axe: A Viking Saga - By IDW games. A fun 30 to 90 minute game for players 12+
Beowulf - Someday we'll actually play this. Currently out of print but can be found on the secondary market at reasonable prices.
Books Mentioned:
Beowulf - This link goes to the Seamus Heaney translation of the epic poem. It's one of our favorites.
