Shipwrights of the North Sea: Redux

Set in the early Viking Age, players act as coastal shipwrights vying to build a powerful fleet and prosperous settlement. Over five rounds, players draft village cards, gather resources (oak, wool, iron) and gold, and recruit craftspeople, jarls, and heroes to help construct longships and buildings. Actions require managing a limited workforce and spending gold strategically as characters with varying effects appear in the township. Victory points come from completed ships and buildings, recruited leaders and heroes, and accumulated gold; the player with the most points at the end wins.
