Northern Voyage: Strategic Warfare During the Viking Age


Hello again, gamers! My apologies for how quiet things have been lately, but I ended up in the hospital over the weekend and didn't get a whole lot of work done. Thankfully, I'm on the mend and have had energy to work on an older game design I had filed away for a rainy day. 

It's been a while since I released a Wargame, so what better time than now?

You are a Jarl in charge of a Viking Voyage into the Northern Territories. Your goal? To seek fame and fortune in the eyes of your people and your Gods. To do this? Conquer all of the northern towns and fortresses.

Northern Voyage is the 2nd game in the “Point Ops” Wargame series. The first game in the series was Blood & Gold, a pirate-themed wargame. Northern Voyage takes the war to the ancient world of the Vikings.

Additionally, this game streamlines many of the rules, the flow of gameplay, and the components. This is to make it so the game can easily fit onto a single printed page while also making it friendly to newer solo wargamers. You also only need 1 six-sided die for these newer rules (rather than the previous 6+ dice), thus making the game easier to travel with.
