Knarr/Vikings

In Knarr, Vikings are an essential component. Players recruit Vikings to gain various benefits and increase their chances of earning victory points. Here are the key aspects of Vikings in the game:
*Crew Zone: Each player has a crew zone in front of them where they place their recruited Vikings. Vikings are placed in columns based on their card color, with the top of the cards visible.
*Recruiting: During their turn, players can choose to recruit a Viking by placing a Viking card from their hand into their crew zone. When recruiting, players gain the assets shown on the Viking card and any assets from the cards in the same column.
*Assets: Vikings provide different types of assets. These include victory points, which advance a player's score on the score track, repetition points, which advance a player's reputation on the reputation track, and recruits, represented by silver bracelet tokens that are added to the player's ship.
*Adding New Cards: After recruiting a Viking, players can take a new Viking card from the board that matches the color of the Viking they placed. They can also spend a recruit token to choose a Viking card of their choice from the five visible cards instead of the matching one.
*Viking Deck: If the Viking deck becomes empty during the game, the discard pile is shuffled to form a new deck. If both the deck and discard pile are empty, players with the most Vikings in front of them must discard one of their choice.
