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.
