This is a fascinating and delightful rundown! I have just unboxed the Norwegians with my kids this evening, and I'm getting ready to set up my first solo with it, but I wanted to get some clarity on the main differences, and boy you have really clarified those. Thank you! I've soloed AFFO 3 times and played only a single 2-player game with another homeschooling mom, who has played a ton of Uwe games herself and beat me soundly :). Having read and watched enough pro-Norwegian players discuss their thoughts, I knew I had to check this "fix"/expansion out, but I had missed yours in my research phase. I'm pretty new to the hobby; I began with Wingspan in October of 2020, and I've somehow made it to Odin in a few short and very exciting months. As such, I'm totally fascinated by your pro-short game enthusiasm, because part of the beauty for me as a newbie is not feeling so much pressure to not starve my Vikings, and I absolutely love the Round 7 abundance that makes the homeboard fill up like my Vikings have made it to an estate sale at the last hour and are glorying in the largesse of good timing. I absolutely adore that exponential gain, and the way they eat negative points. That said, I think I have to try the short game at least once to try to understand your enthusiasm. You've been one of the fun and helpful people who have made being a new participant in board gaming a real delight, even in the midst of a pandemic.

Yet another superb review / tutorial, many thanks for your time. Having just acquired the Norwegians we are very keen to play, your run though is a massive help in getting familiar with the expansion of a truly great game. Many thanks.

Extra squealy factor on overdrive Richard....now I am truly pumped

Just waiting for it to come back into Print; hopefully not too much longer now! Thanks for the video Richard...gonna make a nice cup of tea and get settled in to watch it. Lovely.

One of the best expansions. I have heard one of the next expansions in production will give some attention to the short game.

Gotta say, Richard, of all of your strange opinions, preferring the short game of A Feast for Odin is definitely one of the weirdest. Ewwww.

This sounds like an awesome makeover to one of my favourite games :)

Ah! I was wondering/hoping you would look at this expansion, since it seemed like it would address a fair number of your complaints about the base game.

I think those “U”-shaped tiles make the bonuses too easy to get, in the base game you usually have to use up 3 or 4 tiles to get a single bonus, but now you only need 2.

Sorry I like the long game all game long. And hoping that it's true that another expansion will have 8! Wow! Love your channel though and awesome review! Thanks

Well done as always!

Gernot actually never said that he didn't care about the 6-round version. He actually mentioned here, boardgamegeek.com/thread/2069151/second-expansion-danes/page/3, that he's currently working on additions that will make the 6-round version more interesting and more enticing to players who would otherwise play the 7-round version. That to me, sounds like he *does* care about the short game, and that he wants to functionally expand it so more people would play it. In fact, in his post, he gives more arguments as to WHY people would want to play the short version. Otherwise, I agree with everything else that you said - this expansion really elevated the game for me, and is also a must-have for me. I can't imagine ever playing the base game board ever again.

Hi, do you have any source on the 2 occupation cards rule?

I’m surprised the long game takes you 3 hours. At two players we usually get it done in about 80 minutes. Maybe closer to 100 minutes if you count set up and break down.

Can I implement the coins for useless occupation cards to the base game? If so how many of each do you have? (I know there are two 4 point ones)

Hi Rahdo, I'm curious - will you adjust your ranking on BGG because of the expansion?

is this a stand alone game or do you need the base game?

Love Odin and Norwegians makes it better, but jut wait for the next expansion at Essen^^

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT BOX?! Rectangle?! 23:30

So... When are you playing this for our enjoyment? Long game, please.

Where would you rank this game with Norwegians as far as Uwe titles go? It's #1 for me! 😁

will you be doing a final thoughts video?

Is choosing between two starting occupations something they've said we should do in the base game as well or is it just implemented in the expansion? Also, why do you keep calling him "the designer"? It's Uwe, we know Uwe, we love Uwe, we worship at his altar. Unless you mean THE designer, as in the ultimate, the one that was promised, the once and future designer.
