About this game
Lead Scotsmen, Inuits, or Vikings in this standalone card game of empire building in the frozen north. Each faction plays with a unique asymmetric deck, and you can mix different clan decks within a faction for variety. Send ships on expeditions to discover and raid islands, build production buildings, and manage workers to fuel your growing empire. The expedition mechanic adds exploration to the tableau-building core. Each clan feels genuinely different, from the Scots' defensive walls to the Vikings' raiding prowess.
