Boardgame night at Nick's

We played 878 Vikings, a four player game played in two teams of two, two Saxons v. two Vikings.
Saxons: Jim & Chris.
Vikings: Nick & Mark. 

It was an enjoyable game, not too complex to learn to play, but still plenty of depth in it.  The Vikings had the only player already familiar with the game on their side which gave them a bit of an advantage at the start and by midgame the Saxons were feeling doomed as they played whackamole against a seemingly endless supply of Vikings.  But as the game progressed, the Saxons got the hang of the game mechanics, sussed the victory conditions, devised a comeback plan, got a bit of luck, & managed to steel victory.

Nick now plans to put on a monthly boardgame night.
