Description

In Fjords, two clan leaders clash in a battle for the best land along Norway's coast. This tactical game is all about outmaneuvering your opponent to claim the largest portion of the region for your clan. With its easy-to-learn rules, Fjords is a great introduction to abstract strategy games, and its short 30-minute playtime makes it perfect for a quick gaming session. The game is played in two phases, combining luck and skill in the first phase as you place tiles and farms, and then switching to a skill-based enclosure dynamic in the second phase as you claim fields. This unique blend of mechanics makes Fjords a fun and challenging game for players of all levels, and its modular board and tile placement mechanics ensure that each game is different. Whether you're a fan of medieval-themed games or just looking for a new abstract strategy challenge, Fjords is definitely worth checking out.
