Jorvik

In Jorvik, players gather victory points by trading goods, holding big feasts, and supporting pillages, artisans and warriors. The unique card buying mechanism is stellar.

For several decades during the Viking age, parts of England were occupied by the Norsemen. One of the larger cities under their control became a flourishing centre of trade and artisanship. The Vikings called the city and its surrounding kingdom Jorvik - today known as the City of York.

In Jorvik, players gather victory points by trading goods, holding big feasts, funding pillages, commissioning artisans and hiring warriors to defend Jorvik against the sneaky attacks of the Picts!

Stefan Feld's Jorvik has a unique card buying mechanism: players first indicate their interest in available cards and then buy them in order of how fast they disclose their interest. But beware it comes at a price! The sooner you show your interest in a card, the more expensive this card will be. Because other players may also join in on the price race for this card...

Includes 2 Game modes:

• The introductory Karl game mode.
• The more challenging Jarl game mode for experienced and much more cunning Vikings!
• Jorvik is part of Stronghold Games' Great Designers Series of games. The Great Designers Series from Stronghold Games is an ongoing series of games featuring the greatest game designers from around the world. Jorvik is the fifth game in The Great Designers Series.

Jorvik is a re-implementation of Stefan Feld's earlier game and expansion: The Speicherstadt and Kaispeicher.
