Looot - Games Unplugged Ticket

Brain Spice says: in this prolific period of innovative board game design, some titles inevitably slide under the radar and don't receive the attention that they richly deserve.  Looot! is arguably one such title - a simple idea, an elegant set of rules, and an addictive quality that has you wanting to play again... and, again.  Your Vikings are "resource collecting", competing to settle / plunder a land of wood, sheep, gold and castles.  There is no combat in this game; you are instead attempting to outmanoeuvre one another in clever tactical ways, possibly with a measure of the occasional Viking trash talk.  Come and embrace your Scandinavian roots as you indulge in some Looot!

In Looot, you need to gather resources and capture buildings to develop your fjord. Fill your longships and complete your construction sites in order to rack up your victory points. Store up the most riches, and you’ll be crowned Jarl of the Vikings!

Looot is a clever management game, using a double placement mechanism.

On the Common board Players are Viking conquering a new territoy, which allows you to recover resource/building/objective tiles.

On your Personal board: You build your village with the tiles previously recovered from the Common board to unlock victory points.

It will call upon your optimization logic, favoring the best combinations for this race for victory points.
