Description
Each turn in Vikings Gone Wild — a deck-building, resource management game based on the online real-time strategy game — players can either buy permanent buildings sitting in front of them (resource factories, resources containers, etc) or buy units, towers and special cards that improve their deck and offense/defense capacity.
The only way to win is by successfully attacking each other, and each attack involves interesting bluffing mechanisms in which the attacker doesn't know the defense capacity of their opponent...

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Artifacts and upgrades — artifacts provide ongoing effects and can be upgraded to higher levels, enabling stronger abilities and element interactions
- asymmetric gods — Masters of Elements expansion introduces asymmetric god abilities (e.g., Valkyrie and Thor) affecting gameplay
- Asymmetric Player Powers — Masters of Elements expansion introduces asymmetric god abilities (e.g., Valkyrie and Thor) affecting gameplay
- buildings and construction — buildings provide ongoing benefits and can store elements; capacity limits interact with Town Hall upgrades; construction tokens constrain actions
- combat and attack resolution — players can attack undead, dragons, or opponent buildings; attack success depends on attack vs defense values; ties favor attackers
- containers and storage — beer and gold containers store resources; full containers grant points; unstored resources may be lost at end of round
- Deck Building — players buy cards to their discard pile, draw from the deck into their hand, and buildings do not go into the deck; buildings can store elements
- deck-building — players buy cards to their discard pile, draw from the deck into their hand, and buildings do not go into the deck; buildings can store elements
- Element management — players produce and spend elements (water, earth, fire) to buy cards, upgrade artifacts, and activate effects
- End conditions and scoring — in two-player games, the game ends when a player reaches 40 victory points; endgame scoring includes various objectives and bonuses
- End Game Bonuses — in two-player games, the game ends when a player reaches 40 victory points; endgame scoring includes various objectives and bonuses
- endgame scoring and virtue cards — virtu e cards are powerful endgame objectives; players race to accumulate points via missions, destructions, and virtue cards
- Odin's path — a draft-like row of cards that replenish; encounters with undead and other cards; path cards cycle and refresh
- production/draw/action phases — each round has production, draw, action, storage, and end phases; resources are produced, cards drawn, and actions resolved
- transmutation — convert elements into other resources (e.g., fire and earth into gold) using artifacts and abilities

Quotes (from this video)
- it's probably my least favorite out of the trilogy but I still like it
- it does some really cool stuff with like turn order and order of operations and kind of roll selection similar to like a Puerto Rico kind of thing and it kind of marries that with some traditional sort of area control jocking you know kinds of stuff
- it's another one I played I think only only once I might have played it twice I didn't really care for it
- the rule book was probably the main problem with it
- it felt like a big dud when it actually did come out
- we just got bored of and that's not that's all I can only say about it like there was nothing really terrible about it
- it just was like mediocre I think it's the right word for it
- season two I like better
- it's definitely the weirder quirkier sort of sister of the first one
- pandemic Legacy season one was the number one game
- mark my words or some other arrogant comment I said this will be the number one game on Board Game Geek by the end of the year
