Description
In Looot, you need to gather resources and capture buildings to develop your fjord. Fill your longships and complete your construction sites in order to rack up your victory points. Store up the most riches, and you’ll be crowned Jarl of the Vikings!
Looot is a clever management game, using a double placement mechanism.
On the Common board Players are Viking conquering a new territory, which allows you to recover resource/building/objective tiles.
On your Personal board: You build your village with the tiles previously recovered from the Common board to unlock victory points.
It will call upon your optimization logic, favoring the best combinations for this race for victory points.

- The Emperor asked the impossible.
- This is a silly almost beer dexterity game.
- Diplomacy. It's the game where you lose friends.
- bag building combat game
- This is a trick taking game where you as players are going to try to bid on taking the right number of tricks based on the cards in your hand. But here's the twist, y'all. You don't know other than the colors the rank
- So, the the expansion is a brand new board or you can play on the base board the new faction and then like you said, everybody gets wooden ships.
- The boats that were used for sailing are then used to establish a settlement on the other side.
- If you lose, you don't lose one of your settlements. That is good. That is a good thing.
- So, it's I hate to say, you know, I mixed feelings on that, Marty, to be honest with you. Do I Did I like the new board? Yeah, but I You know where I'm I know it's I'm I'm chewing on my words here, but I It didn't grab me like I thought the new board would, but I appreciate having the boats.
- It's not a cheap expansion and you must have the base game to use this expansion because all your faction bits and other cards, market cards come from the base game.
- This is a very challenging trick-taking game because from a standpoint of getting someone to go set or trying to short suit someone or all the rules that that are in your brain from trick taking this is more difficult because once again not knowing the rank is going to be you may say okay I think I'm not going to take this trick and everybody who played suddenly is now below you and you're like oh man I got this trick and you're like I didn't this card was I went on the low end. Haha. It was the second highest one in the suit. So, you really don't know.
- I'm not a big fan of not knowing the rank of cards, but this one was so generic on difficulty. I didn't have a problem with it. Now, would I play this over a basic deck of Opa? It'd be tough for me to get on the table with my gaming group.
- Yeah, I I was going to say it's like a mid-tier trick taking game. Uh, for me it I enjoy the twist and I appreciate playing it for the twist, but if I had my plethora of trick uh taking games in the drawer and I open it up and this one's in there, I would probably reach for something else first.
- You could. If you had gone prior to Mother's Day, you could have gotten a 15% off discount. And I'm sure they're going to run. I think I know. And I'm sure for Father's Day, there's going to be a similar discount. and a back to school discount. But why would you use just 15%? Well, if you do, I know a place that you can use a very special code called RDTN. That'll get you 30% off anything over at the EWIN website.
- So, the new um Territory Freeze. which, you know, it's been a while since I watched the first one, but if I remember correctly, territory freeze. You can, if you win three in a row, you can freeze the territory you're in, and no one can come battle you until everyone has battled. Is that correct? Do I remember that card?
- The news we were talking about with Game Toppers actually dropped. Game Toppers is partnering with Asmo Day to come out with the line of Middleear products. This includes mats and tables and we are super excited about it.
- Guild Wars one on mobile. I just do not see him playing on my Pixel. Even with the Switch though, I mean, is handheld control. Could you Well, I mean, they have controller support.

Quotes (from this video)
- So, we have noticed,
- Everyone I've shown it to all they all walk away like really loving it and really impressed or really drawn deep into it.
- The trick taking part is very straightforward. There's no kind of twist there but all the cards you get in the different suits you will take them backwards.
- So, first you deal everyone the cards and then you're going to sort them by color and within each color ascending or descending in one direction and then you're going to hand those cards over to your person on your left face down.
- It's like mixing logic deduction with trick taking and it's uh very clever.
- It's such an honest. You just have this table of everyone's looking at each other's cards like spin that towards me. Look at this.
- It feels really good. Yeah, great pick. My gosh.
- It's kind of like Dominion mixed with tricking.
- So you're playing trick ticking, but often times, uh, players, I know I mentioned this, but want more control over their hand. So, your deck building, you're putting whatever you want into your hand.
- It gets a little wacky. It's definitely um uh yeah it it's you can build the market so you can you can kind of create really wild setups.
- And then we are super excited. I'm doing the um kind of final touches on sail legacy. So, I'm super excited for that to come out. It is just such a big game. So my goodness.
- And then um just some of the projects. I know the return of the king is coming out later, so I'm super excited for folks to um catch that. Um it's the kind of big finale to all the trick taking ones.
