Fire & Axe : A Viking Saga is a rare mixture of both simple Euro-based mechanics and high level American theme. It takes the concept of the exploration and raiding of the Vikings and make a truly interesting game that captures the imagination.

In Fire & Axe, players must decide whether to raid and pillage, trade or settle at each city they come across. There are also numerous journeys that they can embark on, with Sagas that are worth victory points in the end available for their grasp. Numerous options are available strategically and tactically, from what to fill their boats with to the concentration of their victory points gathering.

The theme is really well held to, and players feel like their taking part in the exploration and settlement of the vikings in the middle ages. Its easy to learn, plays fast and really draws a player in. Probably one of the best development games out there and a guarantee sure-hit for those into the Vikings. (Posted on 4/8/09)
