About this board game

Norsemen is an expert Euro-style board game for 1–4 players, with games lasting about 120 minutes. You take the role of a Viking leader traveling to foreign lands to build settlements and forts.

The game combines several strategic systems into one Viking-themed experience. You will manage resources, place workers, build a deck, and face push-your-luck decisions as you develop your presence in new territories.

Law speakers are dispatched to hold meetings, adding another important responsibility to your plans. At the same time, sufficient ships are needed to ensure supplies and provide resources, making maritime support an essential part of your settlement efforts.
