Vikings

Prospectus

Vikings is a card game, develop your cards, conquer new lands. There are many adventures waiting for you.

How it plays

All heroes have 8 cards in the battle. There are 4 types of cards: Warriors, Berserkers, Hunters and Shamans. Simple cards (warriors) attack only with swords. To unlock the ability to attack with other cubes, it is necessary to increase the number of stars on the map, and chests will help in this. Also, as the stars increase, the damage it causes increases. The level of the card cannot be higher than the level of the hero, to increase the level of the card, you need the appropriate experience banks. All banks can be used only for simple cards. By putting on a thing, you increase the health of your hero. By wearing all 6 items, you can increase the hero's rank, which will also add health. If you don't have enough silver, use the wheel (by clicking on the silver from above), you can also find silver in the maze. You can gain experience for the hero level by completing daily tasks and winning raids. In the vastness of the game, you can get cans of energy to use them - click on the energy icon.

Opening an account with this game takes one press: Open the holding, above, and it loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first decision. It is drawn for a portrait (upright) screen and takes its instructions from mouse, keyboard or touch, as the game prefers. The file is drawn tall, for an upright screen — a phone held the usual way frames it best, though it will run in any window you give it. If a fullscreen control is offered, take it — a growing enterprise deserves the whole desk.

Analyst's notes for strategy holdings

• Write the plan before the first move, even if the plan is one sentence. Strategy games punish improvisation politely and reward a rough intention revised on purpose.
• Spend your first session on reconnaissance. Watch what the game charges you for — time, space, resources, attention — because that price list is the whole game in miniature.
• Keep a reserve uncommitted. The player who deploys everything into the opening has read only the first page of the problem; the answer usually arrives in chapter two.
