Viking See-Saw

About the game

What is Viking See-Saw?

Let's load our luggage, but don't let the ship tip! Players alternately place their luggage on the 3D ship. The deck is always on a slope where the luggage is put, so place carefully. If the ship tilts, the player has to take a ship's chest and add it their own luggage as a penalty. The ship tilts easily, so it's a race to load luggage before the ship tilts. If a player finishes placing all their luggage or the penalty chests run out, the game ends. Since each of the different luggage items is a different material like brass, aluminum, iron, glass, acrylic, and wood, the strategy and fun of the game is guessing the weight right as to not tip the ship. 船が傾かないように荷物を置いていこう! プレイヤーは、自分の荷物を交互に船にのせていきます。荷物をのせるのは常に傾きが上のデッキです。もし船が傾いてしまったら、ペナルティとして船のチェストを自分の荷物として引き取らなければなりません。船は必ず傾くので荷物の置き合いのチキンレースが繰り返されます。誰かが全ての荷物をのせ終わるか、ペナルティのチェストがなくなったらゲーム終了となります。 荷物コマは、真鍮、アルミ、鉄、ガラス、アクリル、木、と異なる素材であるため、重さの推測の楽しさと、攻めと守りの戦略が生まれ、一味も二味も違ったシーソーゲームに仕上がっています。 —description from the publisher
