Raiders of the North SeaRaiders of the North Sea, published by Renegade Game Studios and Garphill Games, is a worker placement game set in the middle period of the Viking Age.

During the game you will need to amass a crew and gather provisions before crossing the sea to raid settlements that include harbours, outposts, monasteries and fortresses in the search for gold, iron and livestock.

Raiders of the North Sea, published by Renegade Game Studios and Garphill Games, is a worker placement game set in the middle period of the Viking Age. Players will be trying to impress the Chieftain by raiding unwary nearby settlements.

During the game you will need to amass a crew and gather provisions before crossing the sea to raid settlements that include harbours, outposts, monasteries and fortresses in the search for gold, iron and livestock. Some of your crew may perish at the hands of the Valkyries, but that's okay because a glorious death will send a Viking to Valhalla (and will also score you points!)

The game, designed by Shem Phillips, uses a unique place-and-pickup worker mechanism in which on your turn you will take two actions by placing a worker and resolving its action, then picking up a different worker and resolving its action.

Before the game starts you will need to randomly draw plunder from the black bag and place the specified amount onto each raiding space, and also place an appropriately coloured worker next to each raiding space. Each player is given a single black coloured worker and two pieces of silver.

Before you can perform any raids you will need to assemble your crew and collect supplies - this is all done in the village at the bottom of the board. There are eight different buildings, with various actions such as gathering silver, provisions, Townsfolk cards or hiring crew. You must first place their worker in an available building before picking up a different worker from a different building.

When you have hired enough crew and collected enough provisions, you can choose to raid on your turn. To raid a settlement you need to meet three requirements. You must have a large enough crew, enough provisions (and gold if you intend to raid a monastery/fortresses), and the required worker colour - grey and white workers enter the game when they are taken after raiding. They are needed for performing certain village actions and to perform raids on stronger settlements.

The game ends when is only a single set of plunder left in one of the fortresses, the offering draw pile has been exhausted or there are no Valkyrie tokens left on the board. Points are scored based on the Valkyrie track (for dead crew), Armoury track (for military force accrued during the game), offerings to the Chieftain, hired crew (some of whom earn victory points) and collected plunder.

Two expansions are available the add new ways of scoring and introduce new exciting characters and mechanisms to the game -  and .

Raiders of the North Sea is the second game in the North Sea Trilogy - if you fancy playing all three back-to-back as a campaign you can get North Sea Runesaga, which links Raiders with  and .

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.
