This third game in The North Sea Trilogy 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! Each player starts with 7 Vikings and a Longboat on a shared, central Island. From there players will place tiles and begin to venture out to the newly discovered Islands. On their turn, players first place 1 of their 3 tiles, expanding the game board.
They can then take up to 4 actions. After taking their actions, players draw a new tile to their hand, ending their turn. The game ends immediately after the turn where the player holding the Winter Token has no more Tiles in hand.
This should be exactly 48 turns as there are 48 Tiles. This game is a sequel to Shipwrights of the North Sea and Raiders of the North Sea.
