Where it came from
Valley of the Vikings was published in 2019 by HABA, a German company long celebrated for its high-quality wooden components and family-oriented game design. The game was created by the design duo Stefan Gempers and Tobias Kluge, who sought to blend a physical dexterity challenge with a lighthearted strategic framework. By incorporating a barrel-rolling mechanic into a tactical race across a wooden pier, they aimed to create an accessible experience that would appeal to both children and adults during family game nights.
The game gained significant international recognition upon its release, ultimately winning the prestigious Kinderspiel des Jahres (Children's Game of the Year) award in 2019. Critics and juries praised the production for its tactile, well-crafted wooden components and the clever way it balanced luck with simple decision-making. Its reception solidified its status as a modern staple in the children's board game genre, noted specifically for how it manages to remain engaging for older players despite its straightforward ruleset.
