Valley of the Vikings

Players take part in an annual barrel-bowling contest, rolling a ball to knock over selected barrels and collect gold coins. Each turn requires choosing targets and placing Viking meeples on the dock to optimize coin gain while avoiding risky positions. Movement and scoring hinge on skill and risk: correctly knocked barrels yield coins, but the first player whose Viking falls into the water scores nothing that round. The player with the most gold at the end wins.
