This is a game to increase your island while preventing attacks by Vikings.
For each round, you buy a set of 12 tiles and frames. Make each of the 12 tiles on the reverse side face up.
If the tile has an island on it, place the tiles in the plus direction starting at price 0. Place the Viking tiles in the negative direction starting at price 11.
Draw 12 random frames from the bag. Then, from 0 to 11, you put blue (fisherman), yellow (goldsmith), green (scout), red (aristocrat), black (warrior) and ash (sailor) in that order. Blue is the cheapest, followed by yellow, and the highest is gray. You buy a set of tiles and frames in turn. The price is the number written on the corresponding part of the board.
However, you can buy the 0 set only when there are no other frames in that color. For example, if you start with three blue frames from 0 to 2, you can only buy a set of
1 and 2 if you don't have any other blue frames left. If you buy a set of 0, the price of the cheapest set at that time will be 0.
This adjusts the game board's price plate by rotating it. This lowers the price of all sets. The tiles and frames you buy must be placed in your country (L-shaped board) immediately.
The island tile must be positioned so that it touches an L-board or a tile that has already been placed. Also, the shape of the islands must be continuous.
We need to connect the sea island and the island. The columns of frames are determined by colors. The island tiles are different for the right, middle, and left edges of the island.
If you can place the tiles and frames together, you can do so. If you want to place a tile in a different column from the one on which you can place the frame, place the frame outside the L board.
The viking tiles can only be placed in the top row. The placement of the Viking tiles makes the rows dangerous. Some of the frames in the column are no longer valid.
However, if you can place the warrior's frame directly below the Vikings, you can prevent the Vikings from attacking you, and you can earn points and income.
If you buy all 12 sets, you get a score. First, by using the gray frame, you can place the frame outside the board on the board.
Six rounds of the game are played, but at the end of the first, third and fifth rounds there is only goldsmith income. I'm not being attacked by the Vikings. You can earn money from these frames.
At the end of the 2 nd and 4 th rounds, in addition to the income from the goldsmith, you will get scores from warriors, scouts, aristocrats and fishermen. At the end of the final round, there are
bonus points based on the number and size of islands and food checks by fishermen. You count the fisherman's spinning top on your island and all the spinning top you have.
If you have more than 5 times the number of fisherman's spinning top, you lose points, and if you have less, you score points. The point is which set you buy considering the characteristics of each frame.
