Northgard: Uncharted Lands

Based on the universe of the Northgard videogame, Northgard : Uncharted Lands is a game of conquest and exploration set in the age of vikings. Each player will control a Viking Clan, looking to achieve victory by reaping glory in various ways or control the most prized territories of this new continent. The game focus on streamlined rules and mechanisms, allowing for a fast-paced and smooth rhythm of play. Each turn, players alternate their actions to adapt their strategies to their opponents' moves and the expansion of the board. Fame (Victory Points) can be earned by exploring, fighting, controlling and developing territories, hunting monsters... The various corresponding actions are played through the cards that the players have in hand. At the end of each turn, they will have to choose a new card to improve their personal deck, as their clans develop new tactics and technologies. The conquest of Northgard will also go through a good management of the Food resource, which is used to lure rampaging creatures, better your hand of cards, and upgrade your Clan's specificities. The occasional Winter turns make this management more difficult, as the territories stop producing food and slow down the Clans' movements. The pace of the game is set by the players, as the game will end once they have collected a certain amount of Fame or are in control of 3 closed territories hosting certain types of buildings. —description from the publsiher
