  1. KS Edition Jarl Pledge Includes: 2-Player Epic Fjords Bonus Pieces Includes: The Secret Ruins Mini Expansion Includes: Rune Stones Deluxe Upgrade

  2. 4 out of 10

    The first part of this game, at least as 3 players, is the most aggravatingly boring thing I've ever played.

  3. 8 out of 10

    First 2 plays... so happy I bought this! Phase 1 is a nice landscape puzzle map builder with careful consideration of tile placement and longhouse locations. The new artwork is gorgeous and the big chunky longhouses are great. Phase 2 is an immediate knife fight with vikings trying to fence in their territory and block out their neighbors. It plays super smooth. We just used the base rules for now, no rune stones yet, and I'm in love with the simplicity, the clarity, the easy onramp and concise rules, the level of strategy, and most importantly how it feels to play. Seeing the shared landscape at the end is so satisfying. It's why map-builder tile placement games are one of my favorite mechanisms in games. Initial rating 8, but I can see it climbing. UPDATE after 4 plays: first 2 games without runestones. 3rd game with Water and Mountain stone felt okay. 1 additional thing to fight over. 4th game with horse and swimming stones and I didn't care for those. All the cleverness of placing longhouses strategically to setup the battles in the settlement phase kinda goes out the window if your opponent can swim around or mountain-climb over your blockade. This last game felt a bit too loose and lost some of the elegance of the base game. Will keep experimenting with rune stones to see which we like best, if any.

Explore a landscape so stunning that even a Viking would hold their breath in awe…

Fjords is a tile-laying game that takes place in two phases. The first one invites the players to explore the fjords around them by laying hexagonal landscape tiles, creating a map that serves as the gameboard. In the second phase, players begin from the longhouses they placed during phase one and will walk the landscape, claiming as much of the plains and cliffs as possible.

The winner of the game will be the player who has claimed the most land. Savvy placements and the ability to plan ahead yet act tactically will be your most important tools.

This new edition of Fjords differs from the original release in the following ways:

The game now plays up to four players.
The game contains five new variants/modules designed by Phil Walker-Harding. These add optional variety and flavor to the game.
