A Feast for Odin

Set up the game by placing the central board with action spaces, resource supplies, weapon and occupation decks, and exploration tiles nearby. Each player receives a personal home board filled with negative victory point spaces, initial resources, a set of starting vikings, three basic weapons, and a starting occupation card.

The main goal is to earn the most victory points by acquiring and placing various polyomino tiles onto your home board and exploration boards. Players must strategically cover negative point spaces while collecting income-generating resources, buildings, ships, and animals.

A round consists of several phases: gaining new vikings, harvesting, revealing exploration boards, drawing weapons, taking worker placement actions, and feasting. Players take turns placing their vikings on action spaces to perform tasks like trading, crafting, exploring, whaling, pillaging, and acquiring livestock.

Final scoring counts positive points from remaining silver, ships, buildings, animals, exploration boards, and occupation cards, minus penalties for uncovered negative spaces on your boards and any unobtained English crown bonus.

The game is played over seven rounds. After the seventh round's final feast and income phase, players tally their scores and the player with the highest total wins.
