About this game

In Looot, you need to gather resources and capture buildings to develop your fjord. Fill your longships and complete your construction sites in order to rack up your victory points. Store up the most riches, and you’ll be crowned Jarl of the Vikings! Looot is a clever management game, using a double placement mechanism. On the Common board Players are Viking conquering a new territoy, which allows you to recover resource/building/objective tiles. On your Personal board: You build your village with the tiles previously recovered fromthe Common board to unlock victory points. It will call upon your optimization logic, favoring the best combinations for this race for victory points. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
