Raiders of the North Sea: Fields of Fame

In Raiders of the North Sea: Fields of Fame, enemy jarls have united to defend their settlements from raids. Despite the threats, there's fame for those brave enough to face and defeat them. Meeting a jarl will likely cause injuries, but it's no time for the timid. Charge onto the battlefield! Fields of Fame adds a new twist to the game. Jarl tokens are now mixed with Plunder and Valkyrie tokens. When taking a set of Plunder with one or more Jarls, the raiding player must draw to see which Jarls they'll encounter. They can choose to kill for Fame and rewards, subdue to recruit, or flee. Killing and subduing will wound the crew, while fleeing means losing Fame or Victory Points. Players can also gain Fame by raiding with overpowered crews. If a crew's strength is above the highest tier for Victory Points, players advance on the Fame Track, earning extra Victory Points at the game's end.
