Vikings on the Volga

Vikings on the Volga™ is a game of trade and pillaging, the latest game from Lumenaris. You play as a Viking headed east to make your fortune on the rivers of Russia. Sometimes you make money in trade, and sometimes you make money by looting cities.

Turns in this game are quite fast, so your turn comes back around quickly. The whole game takes around 45 minutes to play on average, though if someone burns all the cities down, it can end sooner than you might expect.

Kiev is a popular place to be.

Promotional Tile

We're giving away a special board tile for anyone who orders in the first two weeks*, illustrated with a Viking horseman in the service of the prince. We won't be making any more of this tile, so this is the only chance to get it.

A promotional tile for the first two weeks only.

Themes of Gameplay

Vikings on the Volga is about competition for limited opportunities. There's money to be made, but only if you get there first. As a result, you spend your time thinking about tactical movement, trying to decide how to move your piece so you get to your goal without someone else taking it.

Game Board

The board is made of interlocking hexagonal tiles (like several of our other titles). These tiles are made of heavy-duty masonite, not cardboard, so they'll last a lot longer than most board games today. Each time you play the board is set up randomly, so you get a different experience every time.
