## Description
Step into the Viking Age and assume the mantle of a Jarl in Jórvík! This game transports you to Norse-occupied England, where a city flourished as a center of trade and craftsmanship under the name Jórvík (modern-day York). Your goal is to accumulate prestige, and to do that, you'll need to be clever. Trade goods, host grand feasts, fund pillaging expeditions (who doesn't love a good raid?), hire skilled craftsmen to create valuable items, and assemble an army to defend the city from constant invasions. The player with the most prestige at the end claims the glory!

Jórvík is a reimagining of the acclaimed Die Speicherstadt, featuring an addictive worker placement mechanism combined with auctions to acquire cards. These cards are the key to expanding your trading empire. The game offers two experiences: a base version, faithful to the original game, and an advanced version that includes the content of the Kaispeicher expansion, adding more depth and complexity for those seeking an extra challenge. Prepare to make strategic decisions, manage your resources, and outwit your rivals in a struggle for power and prestige in the Viking era.
