Read the full game description

Looot turns Viking raiding into a clean double-placement puzzle. On your turn, one Viking joins the shared landscape beside another Viking or a longship, taking the matching resource and sometimes claiming a building whose requirements you have met. That tile then matters again on your personal fjord board, where resources, buildings, shields, longships, and construction sites must be arranged into profitable combinations. The shared board creates a gentle race for access and scarce landmarks, while every pickup poses a second spatial question at home. Longships punish incomplete cargo, buildings reward specific local arrangements, and trophies recognize the first clan to reach public milestones. Turns are quick, rules remain approachable, and the scoring puzzle becomes steadily more constrained. The result is a family-weight strategy game with meaningful blocking, satisfying chains, and very little downtime.
