Just managed to find and buy a new copy of A Feast for Odin and played it for the first time last weekend. This game is amazing!!! The variety of actions and options, the aesthetics, the presentation and mechanisms - simply awesome. I cannot wait to play it again and again and explore its depths further.

Love this game! Have played at 4 once and was too long, won’t do that again unless ALL other players have played before. Have played dozens of times solo and 2 player (even tho my wife beats me more often than not). Want to explore more islands? Or are you going to gather boats and go the whaling/pillaging route? Want to specialize in horses/sheep/cattle? Crafting? Go for it. Use your occupation cards to your advantage and see how your Vikings/Norwegians compare to the others! (Or against yourself)

An excellent review, Alex! I have played this game multiple times and found it to be a good solid game. What the game does lack, to me, is the Viking theme attached to it. I don't feel like a Viking when I'm playing the game; I feel like a farmer (as is with many, if not all, of Rosenberg's games) pretending to be a Viking. It's a Viking game in name only. At least, that's how I feel. Still, the systems and mechanics are great, and I will always enjoy playing it, but if I wanted to really feel like a true Viking, I'd play Clash of Cultures: Monumental Edition (as the Viking civilisation) or Blood Rage (completely different games with entirely different systems, but the Viking theme shines through way more in those titles).

What bothers me about "Feast for Odin", besides the dice rolling, is that the Norwegian expansion is essential to basically fix the game. (The luck of the draw of weapon cards can at least be mitigated by house ruling.) And I can't help but wonder why having a million worker placement spaces makes a good game when the core idea of worker placement is having tight decisions because the workers block the few available spaces. What I like is mainly the viking theme and maybe the unusual combination of mechanics with the polyomino puzzling on those boards against a million -1 points. So far, that made "Feast for Odin" a game that I would gladly play but that I don't need to own.

Feats of Odin is amazing and I feel Ark Nova's zoo tiles - puzzle is based on it but doesn't do it nearly as good as Feast for Odin, For me, Norvegans expansion is a must it balances the board and does improve the gameplay rather than just adding more of the same...

@@Exozik LOL, depends on the week! A Feast for Odin is the one constant, though. I tend to think of games that have a puzzle to figure out that change from game to game and are satisfying both solo and with others. Right now the others are Spirit Island and Ark Nova. Ark is the weakest of the three as a solo play (still very enjoyable) and I can see Robinson Crusoe replacing it. Hell, by theme only, Robinson Crusoe kinda has to be on that list! Too Many Bones and Paladins of the West Kingdom are the others that float in and out depending on mood.

Do you ever set up a game, and it takes so long to set up and there are so many pieces, and as you setting up you really wonder if you want to go to all this work just to play a game? I haven't played Feast for Odin, but it looks like I would feel that.

I feel like this game would be too sandboxy for me. I love agricola and recently sold Caverna because it was too open and the static tile market got stale. I would love to try this to see if my impressions from various reviews are correct or not in terms of if it is a game for me

This is my "best bang for your buck" game. $30 new at a MM sale. In fact, the Norwegians expansion was $2 more but well worth the price as I do consider it essential, not so much for more stuff, but for balance. Also 5/5 for me but my gaming group isn't so enamored with it. Actually, one guy hates two games in my 150+ game collection; this being one of them and the other, Terraforming Mars. Blasphemy! But then again, he loves AotWK so that makes sense 🤭

I have played this a few times. I call this game "artificial complexity" there seems to be hundreds of things going on, but there is only 2 ways of playing this. Go for the dice rolls before your opponents do. The return on the dice worker placements is exponentially higher than anything else.
