Turn
On your turn, you have a number of options:
Place a Viking (Mandatory)
Capture a Building (Conditional)
Complete a Construction Site (Conditional)
Select a Longship (Optional)
Use a Shield (Optional)
Claim a Trophy (Optional)
After you've done as much as you can or wish to, it's the next player's turn
Place a Viking
Place a Viking on the main board as long as the space is unoccupied AND adjacent to either any other Viking (not just your own) OR adjacent to a Longship
After which, depending on the space, you will gain a resource tile to your personal board (Fjord) which, after choosing an empty space for it, CANNOT be moved later
Capture a Building
There are three building types (Houses, Watchtowers, Castles) and each function slightly differently
If you played your Viking adjacent to a House, take a House tile and place it on your Fjord, you can capture multiple Houses this way if you are adjacent to multiple
If you played your Viking so as to make a route of YOUR Vikings between 2 Watchtowers, you gain 2 Watchtower tiles for your Fjord. Each pairing can only be claimed once, even if you make two routes between them, however each watchtower isn't limited to one route, so if you make a route between Watchtower A & Watchtower B gain 2 Watchtowers, do this again and gain 0 Watchtowers, later make a route between Watchtower C & B and gain 2 Watchtowers, later make a route between C & A, gain 2 more Watchtowers
If you played your Viking so as it is in a conglomeration of 4 of YOUR Vikings, and at least one is adjacent to a Castle, take 1 Castle Tile. Build on this conglomeration so it totals 8 of YOUR Vikings, take a 2nd Castle Tile. Build on this conglomeration so it totals 12 of YOUR Vikings, take a third tile.
Complete a Construction Site

Select a Longship
At end of your turn, you MAY claim a single Longship
If you fail to complete a claimed Longship, it will lose you 5 points
Longships require 3 resources to complete (shown in the main upper area), they then give bonus points to a certain feature (shown in the low banner)
To satisfy the requirements, the resources MUST be adjacent to the Longship's space, if multiple of the same resource is required then multiple of this resource needs to be adjacent
Resources adjacent to multiple Longships will satisfy all adjacent
Once a Longship meets the criteria, flip it to show it has been satisfied
After claiming a Longship, draw a new one to replenish the market
