Viking shipwrights compete to assemble the most impressive fleet and coastal holdings on the North Sea.

Gameplay

Over several days you draw a small hand, then play cards to hire crew, trade for resources, and build ships and buildings for points. The pressure is making progress with scarce gold and workers while unwanted cards and rivals’ picks disrupt your plans.
