In the Name of Odin became a game of interestng decicions. Do you want to build that cool ship before someone takes the opportunity away, or do you want the Viking Hero that’s perfect for your current plan? Which do you value more? Which will be the most useful? Do you want to risk giving the other players the chance to take the card you wanted, or do you make sure it ends up in your village? Play your cards right, and… you’ll probably still have to make the same painful decision, but perhaps you will set yourself up for a strong followup.

Does it mean you’ll get no chance to directly butt heads with other players? Don’t worry, you will. As each raid is resolved, you get a chance to up the ante for the active player with your action cards. With a little bit of luck, you’ll deprive them of some glory earned on the seas. With a little less luck, you’ll allow them to score an extra point. Win or lose, you’ll get to exchange one of the cards in your hand – which may be the exact thing you need for your next turn.
Everything you do in In the Name of Odin has one goal in mind – taking the longship to sea and completing quests. You always need a Famous Viking to lead the crew, which you need to recruit, and obviously you’ll need a longship to start with! Developing your village will allow you to speed up the process of acquiring those resources, or give yourself a better chance of doing exactly the actions that you need this particular turn. There’s always something to do in preparation for the next journey, whether it’s recruiting more warriors, traders and sailors, or repairing a longship that came back from a mission in far-away lands.
