Nusfjord: Big Box

Players run competing fishing companies in a 19th-century Norwegian fjord, developing harbors, expanding fleets, clearing forests and constructing buildings to grow their operations. The game uses worker placement: each player places a limited number of workers on shared action spaces to take tasks like buying cutters, harvesting fish, selling shares, or visiting local elders. Money is tight, shares can be sold to raise cash but may give opponents benefits, and elders can claim part of players’ catches if not managed. This edition bundles the base game with multiple fish-deck expansions and additional guest meeples and components that provide new card-driven options and visitor interactions.
