Shipwrights of the North Sea is set in the early years of the Viking Age, circa 900 AD. As Viking shipwrights, players compete to build the greatest fleet on the North Sea. Players must collect oak, wool and iron, as well as getting other craftsmen on board to help. Gold is a precious commodity, and must be spent wisely. As you would expect, the township is filled with an array of characters, bad and worse. Better hope they're on your side!
The aim of Shipwrights of the North Sea is to be the player with the most Victory Points at the game’s end. Points are gained by constructing various Ships and Buildings. The game ends after the round where 1 or more players constructs their 4th ship.
The game is played over a series of days (rounds). Each day follows the same pattern:
Morning Phase - Planning (Each player receives 3 cards)
Afternoon Phase - Working (Players take actions and play or discard their 3 cards)
Evening Phase - Resting (Players receive Gold and Workers for the next day)
128 Cards - Featuring 46 unique and stunning illustrations

Personal I love Shipwrights, but maybe for the same reasons some might not. This game has a mix of mechanics that you don't usually see together. There is card drafting, resource management, building, but also some take that. But don't fear new editions (please check before purchasing include the Towns Folk Expansion, which cleans up a couple disliked aspects of the game from it's original release. Give it a try now that it's well refined, with excellent quality components. And if you're not a big fan of "take that", you can always take those cards out!
