About Looot, from BoardGameGeek:
In Looot, you need to gather resources and capture buildings to develop your fjord. Fill your longships and complete your construction sites in order to rack up your victory points. Store up the most riches, and you'll be crowned Jarl of the Vikings!
Looot is a clever management game, using a double placement mechanism.
On the Common board Players are Viking conquering a new territory, which allows you to recover resource/building/objective tiles.
On your Personal board: You build your village with the tiles previously recovered from the Common board to unlock victory points.
It will call upon your optimization logic, favoring the best combinations for this race for victory points.
