About the game
What you do in a play session
Den Forsvunne Skatten (The Lost Treasure of Norway) is a modern reimagining of the classic Afrikan Tähti, but with a Norse twist. Here, you’ll embark on an adventure across Norway in search of a legendary Viking sword. The cool part? The group gets to decide together where to start the journey, and the board is a visual treat, showcasing breathtaking landscapes: dramatic mountains, deep fjords, lush forests, and even those snow-covered highlands you usually only see in movies. Along the way, you can collect some seriously cool Viking treasures, like belt buckles and helmets — but watch out, because there are trolls lurking around ready to mess with your progress! The game is super accessible, with simple roll-and-move mechanics, perfect for family play or introducing kids to the hobby. And even though it’s aimed at children, the Viking theme and exploration vibe might even appeal to adults who enjoy a lighthearted adventure.
