Explorers of the North Sea

Explorers of the North Sea is set in the latter years of the Viking Age. As ambitious sea captains, players seek out new lands to settle and control. They will need to transport their crew among the newly discovered islands to capture livestock, construct outposts and fulfill various other goals. So ready the longships, there are new horizons to explore!

Players lead their Viking crews from a shared central Island into an expanding world of newly discovered Islands, using their Longships to explore, transport Livestock, establish Outposts, raid Settlements, and clash with enemy ships. Over the course of 48 turns, the board grows tile by tile as players spread their influence across the sea, balancing movement, delivery, construction, combat, and control. As winter approaches and the final tiles are placed, players score Victory Points for their achievements, including delivered Livestock, built Outposts, destroyed ships, raided Settlements, fallen Vikings, controlled Islands, and Captain Cards. The player who has earned the most glory by the end of the game is the winner.
