## Description
In Lofoten, you and your opponent take on the roles of Jarls, Viking clan leaders competing for dominance over the archipelago. The game blends strategy and hand management, where you must load goods like sheep, fish, mead, and treasures onto your longships to store them in your village. Each type of good scores power points (PP) in different ways, and the goal is to end the game with more PP than your rival. The rotating board and strategic choices make each game unique, with underhanded tricks and negotiations that reflect Viking cunning.
