About Viking Route, from BoardGameGeek:
In the co-operative game Viking Route, your heroes sail a magical Drakkar to the World's Edge and beyond. Influenced by magical ravens sent by Odin to steer your course, and by the winds of Fate, you will face powerful and monstrous creatures out of the Norse mythos to fulfill your quests and prepare you for the final challenge to defeat the greatest enemy of the Gods and prevent Ragnarok!
Viking Route uses a compass-and-magnets movement mechanism first introduced the game The Faceless. The main game piece - the Drakkar - is represented by a compass, and multiple magnets (representing ravens and wind) are manipulated by players to steer the course of their ship.
This mechanism is only one of the elements under control of the players, who also have to manage the resources of the Drakkar and their hand of cards to face opponents and achieve the goals of their quests. Multiple quests, using different board layouts, are included in the game; quests can be played either independently, or as a continuing campaign, ending in a final climactic confrontation to avoid Ragnarok.
