Explorers of the North Sea: Rocks of Ruin

About this expansion

Explorers of the North Sea: Rocks of Ruin is a board game for 1–5 players with an approximately 80-minute play time, adding new opportunities for daring captains in the North Sea.

Recent storms have torn longships apart, leaving precious cargo scattered across rocky shores. Captains must decide whether to be the first to salvage shipwrecks or throw caution to the wind by charging nearby enemy fortresses in pursuit of fame and glory.

Rocks of Ruin expands the North Sea experience with new locations, new building options, and additional player support. Rumors of great fortresses in nearby regions introduce another reason to explore, while the wrecks create opportunities among the storm-battered shores.

• Components for an extra player, supporting games for up to five players
• 24 new tiles
• Three new building types
• Five large player boards
• Two new captain cards
• Shipwrecks and fortresses

These additions give captains more to discover as they navigate the consequences of the storms. Whether your attention turns toward scattered cargo or imposing fortresses, the expansion places both salvage and glory within reach.

Explorers of the North Sea: Rocks of Ruin also contains “The North Sea Runesaga: Fifth Player Expansion.” Released in 2018, it brings new content and a fifth-player option to the North Sea setting while preserving the central themes of exploration, wreckage, and daring ambition.
