About the game
What you do in a play session
In the game, you decide how to earn your fame. Do you prefer establishing lucrative trade routes, negotiating rare goods with foreign cultures? Or do you prefer the more direct path, plundering distant settlements and stealing riches to strengthen your clan? The choice is yours, but remember that logistics are fundamental. There's no point in having the strongest warriors if the crew is starving; keeping your stocks of bread and beer up to date is the difference between dominating the seas or drifting while your rivals advance.
To win, you'll need to invest in upgrading your ship and hiring more experienced combatants, improving your team's skills. The game dynamics utilize worker placement with dice and a time track, meaning the efficiency of every action counts and the turn order can shift drastically depending on how 'expensive' (in terms of time) your move was. It's a game of careful planning, where every navigation decision and every resource spent impacts your reputation. If you can tactically outmaneuver competing clans and spread your name across distant lands, your place in Valhalla is guaranteed. Do you have the cold calculation needed to lead your fleet toward immortality, or will you be just another forgotten name in the northern mists?
