Greenland (Third Edition)

In Greenland (Third Edition), you take on the role of one of four tribes—Tunit, Norse, Sea Sámi, or Thule—inhabiting Greenland between the 11th and 15th centuries. The goal is to ensure your tribe's survival and growth in a challenging environment where climate and resource scarcity are constant. To achieve this, you'll need to manage your population, sending them out to hunt native animals, gather essential resources, develop new technologies, and even colonize the New World. But beware, not every hunt returns successfully, and nature can be unforgiving!

The game unfolds over six phases, representing generations. Each phase brings unique events, such as elder deaths, animal migrations, or climate changes. If a merchant ship appears, prepare for an auction! You'll have to decide where to allocate your hunters: for hunting, gathering, exploration, or even interacting with other tribes, whether through tense negotiations to steal wives or animals, or direct conflicts. The survival of your domesticated livestock also requires attention and resources.

One of the most interesting decisions is choosing between monotheism and polytheism, which will influence your final score based on your achievements. Player interaction is crucial, with opportunities to bribe rivals or form temporary alliances. Greenland is a historical simulation game with worker placement, dice rolling, and auction mechanics, demanding strategic planning and adaptation to the twists of fate. It's an immersive experience that transports you to the harsh life in medieval Greenland.
