Times are troubled and the seas are full of enemy ships. Manning your fleet with strength, courage and knowledge. Get your ships ready for battle and head out to sea. Your goal is to conquer your opponent's land. Vikings of the North is a different and strategic board game with tactical and fast duels. With three players, the Asa gods have a finger in the pie, which makes the battles extra exciting and unpredictable. Bjørn Andreas Bull-Hansen has conquered the world with his books. The game is inspired by the books in the Jomsviking series and takes you back to the Viking Age.

Start with the first player, can do the following three steps in this order each turn: A. Turn over a dice in his port B. Build a ship C. Move a ship

The game is over when one of the players can no longer move, attack or build a ship (less than 3 dice in its port).

During the game, players get points for: • 1 point for each opponent ship that is sunk • 1 point for each warrior placed in the opponent's port • 2 points for each pawn placed in the opponent's port. (The special farmers instead give 5 points if they are placed on their corresponding symbol)

After the end of the game, players also get points for: • 1 point for each ship moved to the opponent's half of the playing field • 1 point for each dice left by the opponent in their own port.

The player with the highest score wins!
