Shipwrights of the North Sea

Embark on a Viking adventure in "Shipwrights of the North Sea," where you take on the role of a shipbuilder in the era of Norse explorers, around 900 AD. The goal? To construct the most impressive fleet and accumulate the most victory points by the game's end. To achieve this, you'll need to manage your resources wisely: oak, wool, and iron are essential for building your ships and structures. But don't forget gold, a precious commodity that must be invested carefully, and labor, represented by workers who will assist you in your tasks. Each day in the game is divided into phases: planning, working, and resting. During the planning phase, you'll receive cards that will guide your actions. In the working phase, you'll use these cards to gather materials, hire craftsmen, trade in the market, and, of course, build your ships and structures. Interaction with other players occurs through open card drafting and competition for resources and workers. The village is filled with peculiar characters, some not always trustworthy, adding a touch of unpredictability and challenge to your journey. The game ends when one or more players complete their fourth ship, and the player with the most victory points is crowned the master fleet builder.

With art that evokes a medieval and Viking theme, the game offers a strategic experience with mechanics of hand management, commodity speculation, and trading. It's a great choice for those who enjoy games with a historical touch, without sacrificing fun and smart decision-making. Get ready to chop wood, spin wool, and forge iron to dominate the northern seas!
