A historical strategy game of trade & diplomacy



Pax Viking is a historical strategy game of trade and diplomacy in the 10th century for 1-6 players.

The game highlights those Vikings who travelled eastwards, towards the rich trade routes of Persia and around the Black Sea. Skilled opportunists in the matters of silver and axe, these Vikings are ready to wield whichever worked best in any given situation. They shared an adventurous explorer ethos with the westward travelling Vikings, and reached far to the south and east, forming strong alliances, influencing societies, and founding empires along their way.

The areas under Norse control are vast. The administration of power is becoming increasingly complicated. The Viking longships are excellent for travelling both at sea and on rivers. In the western part of Europe, your neighbour Jarls in Denmark and Norway are pillaging the lands. It is wise to be on good terms with these Powerful Allies.



You interact with them by travelling to their Posts in the West. But you are also aware of the economic advantages to be gained by having followers in the strong Trade Center of some existing larger cities as well. It is up to you to weave and navigate a successful saga within Pax Viking in order to become the first Swedish monarch!

Direct your termites to collect wood, hatch eggs and build the best tower!



Termite Towers brings players into the world of efficient and dedicated termites, building on the mechanics of Waggle Dance.

Players compete to complete their section of the mound first, gathering the necessary resources from the woodpile, whilst hatching new termites and training up soldiers that can help you secure the best spots.



With the wood you have gathered, you use the polyomino plan cards to construct your tower, the winner is the first player to build the required number of rows (5 for a shorter game, 7 for a longer game).

Much like its predecessor, you can also call on the help of the Queen to help you, or hinder your opponents.

Form micro-habitats using plant tiles, and attract animals to build food-chains, as you compete for resources and space. Take advantage of opportunities but be ready to quickly adapt to new strategies; as the jungle is transformed into a thriving Biome.



On their turn a player is allowed one of three actions: Exchange cards; Exchange Tiles; Play a card; and Place tiles onto the board. Placing tiles also earns more cards.

The game ends when the final tile is picked up by a player, triggering a final action for every player. Points determine the winner and are attained by earning cards through tile placement.
