    After 10 days of delivery time, and two weeks of trying to find a day in which me and my friends could play this, yesterday night i finally got to try this game.
    And i have to thank you Quinns, like a lot, because this is the first war game i play and i had a total blast with it! I sincerely hope that Academy Games will give us some other episodes of the birth of Europe saga if this is the quality level!
    Anyway this is not the first game i buy thanks to SU&SD (Secrets, Cosmic Encounter, Azul, Magic Maze, Fugitive, Concordia, Pandemic Legacy S1 and probably a couple other things) but i dont usualy comment onto any videos, but while i was writing down my bgg review of 878 thee, oh prancing Quinns, popped to my mind and i had to thank you not just there but here.
    I started following you since your Root review and never let go after it, you guys make me fall into this hobby even more and i found the humor perfectly suiting mine (had to use the "how many vikings?!" while playing and it delivered).
    Thanks, once again, and sorry for this very big comment,
    Ciao from Italy :D

    Didn't mention the boat ships expansion, I thought that one seemed neat and unintrusive. Basically when a viking lands you drop a ship token, ship tokens allow Vikings to jump between them like portals, English can attack the ships to cut off supply routes, and I believe another win condition if they wipe them all out.
