Watching this even though I know I like this game, and own everything for it. You're content is very entertaining.

love your camera shots of the game. always make any game look cooler than they really are.

After playing with Valhalla I’ll never play any other way! Makes the game much more strategic and dying on purpose for certain rewards! I’ll never play without it! Plus having the leader die and another power, etc. definitely wanna know what you think when you try that.

Tastefully reviewed as always. Yes it's a good game, but it still gets trumped by Lords of Waterdeep. The Valhalla expansion adds enough to the game to make it almost essential. Thanks for your time and expertise, game on!

Thanks! Champions is one of my favorites.

As a huge fan of Cyclades are you going to get the new version ? Im tempted but don't want to KS, I'm assuming it'll cone to retail...hope so anyway.

I actually choose Gylfir if I can, I like not having to pay for those ship actions, means I can save that gold for the additional worker etc.

I love Champions of Midgard. It's especially good with both expansions.

After playing the newest expansion for Lost Ruins of Arnak, the 2-player co-op campaign one, I find myself wishing GreyFox games would return to Champions and create something similar.

One of my favorite worker placement games. Using Viking minis to replace the meeeples upgrades it.

The Valhalla expansion makes the game significantly better by offsetting the luck of the dice with rewards for losing warriors in battle.

Just to throw another spanner in the works, have you played Reavers of Midgard? It is a euro approach to the Midgard viking games. Might be more satisfying if you are looking for a deeper more mechanical experience.

Good video, as always. I'm willing to give CoM a pass with regards to the theme as it's not really about raiding and pillaging, but rather about defending your hometown - so you could say, not your typical Viking fare.

[matttrafton]

Very worth it. In my unbiased Viking opinion. Excellent worker placement. Battle is best.✊

[williamblack]

The viking theme overused and boring? I'm mortally offended but can't really argue against it.

[SteveAMcPherson]

Nice review. How do you think it compares to Raiders of the North Sea?

[uplift-yourdailypickup]

Yeah Champions of Midgard is still great. As everyone says this game is best with the Valhalla expansion. This one also works well for getting your friends sucked in to board gaming .

[matttrafton]

Even better when using Blood Rage minis with it.

I still do not understand why many of the same people who try to cancel some historical themed games or demand that they be replaced with cartoon animals, have a double standard when it comes to Viking games. Personally, I love Viking games and many other historical themed games. However there is a double standard in board game social media with themes like Vikings or say Qin Shi Huangdi in China where those games are acceptable but others are not.

As someone who has Cyclades as his top 1 game, can you give us your opinion on the new Cyclades legendary edition kickstarter?
