In Raiders of the North Sea, players are Viking warriors trying to impress the chieftain. On your turn you place one worker on a building and take another worker from a different building, triggering both actions.
You gather provisions, hire crew, and then raid settlements across the sea for loot and glory. More dangerous raids give bigger rewards. It's a medium-weight game with a clever worker system.
