A War Gamers Needful Things reviews Academy Games offering on the Viking invasions in their game 878 Vikings: Invasions of England. "Although the rules are simple there is enough in here, especially with 4 players, to keep even the most experienced of Grognards entertained. Even if they consider it as a simple 60-minute filler – my game of this went closer to 90 minutes plus a bit., I guarantee that they will enjoy it."

Russ Lockwood from The Board Gaming Life reports on a game of 878 - Vikings: Invasions of England published by Academy Games. Russ was impressed by the advantages of the Viking leaders. "The Viking leaders offer a distinct advantage in that they can pick up and drop troops off as they move and can perform something akin to an overrun if they can whack all the defending locals in one round of combat."

The Boardgames Chroniclebrings us a two player variant for Academy Games' 878 - Vikings: Invasions of England where "one side controls both Viking factions and the other English ones.

Article ID: 9 Date: 9/6/2020 10:01:00 AM 878 AD – Vikings in action – first impressions
One of my favorites from Academy Games is 878 A.D.-Vikings in Action and the Boardgames Chronicle gives us their first impressions of the first play through. "The game is very thematic – the mechanics itself (Viking raids) and the opposing English are very well depicted and you feel as a part of history. It is definitely a fast-paced and quick game which can be played in reasonable time. On the other hand it is also exciting & brutal, with battles being a main driving factor here." Isn't that what a Viking game is all about?
