Viking Fury, 2nd ed.
VIKING FURY 2nd Ed. is a solitaire game of the Viking expansion period. The game allows you to direct your longboats from Scandanavia and head west to the British Isles, or south to the main European continent, in search of booty and an eventual new home. This Battlegame book has been available on Amazon since 2025, but is being made available directly from Minden for the first time. It uses the original game system, with some minor enhancements. The game ranks high in playability, and low in complexity, enabling you to vicariously explore various Viking expeditions in a historical setting.
Viking Fury is a strategic level solitaire game covering the initial Viking expansion into western Europe in the late 8th-early 9th century. The player controls the Viking side and attempts to acquire treasure for his home location, while potentially planting new settlements across the sea. Each game turn represents a variable amount of actual time. The object of the game is to bring as much treasure back home to Scandinavia (and establish settlements over the sea) within a set number of Expeditions.
The game was originally published in Panzer Digest #14, but appears here as a stand alone game, with added scenarios and campaign games. The game comes in a 42-page full-color 8.5" x 11" book that contains all game components apart from a standarddeck of playing cards, and a six-sided die.
What makes this new edition particularly interesting are two things: (1) is the addition of new historical scenarios, listed below.
Raid on Lindisfarne European Coast Invasion Raid on Iona Standard Campaign Game
Irish Expansion London & the Channel Danelaw Campaign Game
Secondly, (2) Solo Pencil-Mode Rules. This allows you to play the game without game counters, instead writing progress of the game on the special game maps (provided), meaning you can play the game almost anywhere.
What's Included: 40-page 8.5" x 11" color book containing standard rules, optional rules, over 100 game counters (allowing up to three people to play, in addition to solo), several game maps, Pencil-Mode game maps, several scenarios, historical commentary, all necessary game tables.
Viking Fury was designed to be a fun game of strategy, based on historical events. Though specifically designed for solo play, rules include the option of playing with up three gamers.
Viking Fury 2nd ed. will be available soon from Minden. You may also order your copy worldwide from Amazon.
