PLAYED FOR YOU

BEER & VIKINGS

THe last mug of beer!

As a wild and thirsty Viking warrior you are willing to do anything for the last mug of beer! But beer influences your abilities, each drink blocks one of your resources, but, on the other hand, Viking actions burn alcohol!

Each player embodies a Viking with a certain number of life points and personal abilities; he can stand or sit. You sit at the start of the game until you move for the first time; then you stand until one opponent is left! The cards have two independent characteristics; card text and action box with values for attack, defense, movement and drinking, plus the backside mark for troublesome, quarrelsome and drowsy. The card texts can relate to events, weapons and items, minions or opponent’s turn.

Taking into account all characteristics of your Viking and cards in your turn you play as in Sake & Samurai; but there a few rules changes for both games within the new series Spirits & Warriors: The Sitting counter is now an Energy Marker, is not removed when you move, but you can do the iaido action any time during your turn, once in the game. Charge is a special action and Axes can be thrown! If you kill an opponent you draw two Valhalla cards and select one; they decide ties in Sudden Death. At the end of the Sudden Death confrontations the Viking with most drink markers wins. If you are eliminated in Sudden Death you turn into a Spirit of Loki and try to steal Beer from the Living, you use the cards in the “wounded” stack of the dead Viking.

One on all and all for beer, merry and sneaky bashing of all, be it Viking or Samurai, to be dead is no defeat, if push comes to shove, we only wanted a drink! Skol!
