878 - The Vikings is the first opus of the Birth of Europe series, cousin of the Birth of America series (1775 The American Revolution, 1812 The Invasion of Canada, 1754 The Conquest). Its theme is the Viking invasions on the Anglo-Saxon coasts in the 9th century.

As usual, the game takes 90% of the common rules while including differences that will create a new gaming experience. In 878 The Vikings, the camps are asymmetrical since the English camp starts the game with territories while the Viking camp will land on the island in waves of invasion. Another change, the armies can be led by these lords. In this case, this army can fight in its movement just as it can drop off or recover units on its way.
This results in new tactics totally different from 1775 The American Revolution or 1812 The Invasion of Canada.

878 The Vikings – The Invasions of England is a game for 2 to 4 players aged 14 and over.
