Overview

X

Key Note: If the Viking Deck AND Discard pile are empty, the player with the most Vikings has to discard a Viking of their choosing to become the new drawn card

Key Note: The max of Silver Bracelet and Recruit Tokens you can have is capped at 3 each


Turn

A turn consists of the following stages

Trade (Optional)

Reputation

Action (Recruit OR Explore)

Trade (Optional)


Reputation

Check where your Reputation marker is at and score this many points

Recruit

Play a Viking from your hand onto the stack matching its colour, this will cover up the previous Viking whilst still displaying the symbol at its top

After which, take ALL assets now visible in that colour's stack (old cards + the new card)

Finally, take the Viking from the space matching the stack's colour (This may NOT be the same colour Viking, just the Viking from the matching colour area) then replace the empty space

Note: You may spend a Recruit Token if you have one to pick any Viking, not the one from the matching colour area


Explore

Pick a Destination card from those visible and discard the appropriate colour Vikings shown in top left from your play area to pay for it

You do not need to use the most recent Viking of that colour, just of that colour

If the cost is in equals "=" signs, this means all of the same colour of your choice

You may use Recruit Tokens in place of spending Vikings

Place the Destination above your Ship and gain the Assets shown on the top right

Replace the bought Destination with a card from the same deck (Green or Blue back)


Trade

This is an optional action, but can only be taken once in your turn either at the start or at the end

As you'll see, the Destination cards line up with the ship to form three columns of empty spaces or symbols

Spend 1 Silver Bracelet to gain all the assets on column 1

Spend 2 Silver Bracelets to gain all the assets on column 1 AND column 2

SPEND 3 Silver Bracelets to gain all the assets on column 1 AND column 2 AND column 3

Note that 1 Silver Bracelet isn't for a single column, but specifically column 1, i.e. you MUST spend 3 Silver Bracelets if you wish to gain assets from the third (rightmost) column


Assets

As mentioned throughout, there are various ways to gain Assets

Publisher & dev notice about Artifacts flow

As the rules are not very clear to exactly when to check the Artifacts, here is what have been decided by the publisher for the BGA implementation :

Actions flow : (optional Trade) => Action => check artifacts (except weathervane / amulet) => (optional Trade) => check artifacts weathervane / amulet
