Scheepsbouwers van de Noordzee: Redux

Scheepsbouwers van de Noordzee: Redux (Shipwrights of the North Sea: Redux) is a fully reimagined Viking strategy game set around 800 AD. As rival shipwright clans, players aim to build the most impressive fleet on the North Sea by constructing longships and buildings, recruiting Jarls, binding heroes to their cause and amassing gold. Over a series of rounds you draft village cards, gather oak, wool and iron, and assign workers to powerful actions to end the game with the most victory points.

Key Features:

• Completely redesigned Redux edition: Not just a reprint, but an all-new version with overhauled mechanisms, pacing and balance compared to the original 2014 game.

• Rich, thematic Viking engine-builder: Score by constructing ships and buildings, hiring Jarls, deploying heroes and managing your gold economy.

• Multi-step rounds with market and actions: Round cards set trade prices for resources while you select village cards and spend scarce workers and resources on long-term gains.

• Powerful card synergies: Village cards, heroes and buildings combine into a personal engine that ramps up your income, discounts and scoring opportunities over time.

• Tension on multiple progress tracks: Race ahead on several tracks to claim bonuses and milestones, adding interactive pressure alongside your own engine building.

• Flexible player count with strong solo mode: Designed for 1–5 players, including a no-fuss solo mode with multiple AI opponents as well as a satisfying multiplayer experience.

• Modern playtime and depth: A 60–90 minute strategy game for gamers around 12–13+ that delivers meaningful choices without unnecessary complexity.
