Shipwrights of the North Sea: Redux is a revamped and thoroughly improved version of the first game in the acclaimed Viking trilogy by Garphill Games. Set during the early era of Viking exploration, players take on the roles of shipbuilders competing to construct the most magnificent fleet on the North Sea.

At the heart of the game is shipbuilding around the year 800 AD. Players gather resources (wood, wool, iron), hire craftsmen and villagers, construct buildings, and assemble mighty longships. All of this is done in pursuit of glory points, aiming to become the most renowned shipwright of the age.

The core mechanics include card drafting, resource management, engine building, and tableau building. The game unfolds over five rounds, each consisting of phases for revealing cards, drafting, taking actions, collecting income, and assigning heroes. Actions include building ships and structures, hiring craftsmen and jarls, trading, raiding settlements, and using special card abilities. Players also compete along three progress tracks that offer additional points and bonuses.

Shipwrights of the North Sea: Redux is a modern reimagining of a classic game, offering a tense and strategic shipbuilding experience through elegant mechanics and rich Viking theming. 🛶
