Greenland

Step into the icy expanse of Greenland with this exciting new edition that now includes the Sea Sami expansion pack, allowing for thrilling gameplay with up to 4 players!

Choose your tribe and immerse yourself in the rich history of Greenland, as you embody one of the four factions from the 11th to 15th centuries: the Tunit (Player Green), Norse (Player Red), Sea Sámi (Player Blue), or Thule (Player Yellow).

Your mission is clear: secure food, gather essential resources, and tap into advanced technologies to expand your tribe and support its members, from children to esteemed elders. But beware! Competing species stand in your way, and you'll need to outsmart them to collect valuable victory points.

Navigate the challenges posed by the unforgiving climate and the dwindling natural resources, all while making crucial decisions that could shape your tribe’s future—will you strategically negotiate to protect your families or delve into the theological debates of monotheism versus polytheism? In this captivating tableau-building game, send your hunters into the frigid wilderness of Greenland, but remember, not every expedition guarantees a return!

Gameplay unfolds across six dynamic phases, with each player participating in turn order each round, representing a single generation of struggle and survival:

1. Resolve Events: Unpredictable occurrences, such as elder deaths, animal migrations, and harsh global cooling, shape your strategy. When a trade ship arrives, brace yourself for an auction of coveted goods!

2. Assign Hunters: Task your hunters with gathering resources, colonizing new lands, raiding rival tribes for wives or animals, or even earning promotion to elder status.

3. Negotiate: Engage in diplomacy! Offer bribes to other players to peacefully withdraw their hunters, or even arrange marriages to sweeten the deal. If you wield a War Chief Elder, send hunters to attack opposing players.

4. Resolve Hunting: Roll dice for each hunter while applying your technologies and marriages to enhance your success. Victorious hunts bring forth new hunters, resources, and potentially valuable cards. However, be cautious—some predators may turn the tables, leading to the loss of your brave hunters!

5. Maintain Livestock: Ensure your domesticated animals are well cared for by managing your resources wisely.

6. Take Elder Actions: Unleash powerful actions such as invention, domestication, and even witch-burning. If your tribe lacks elders, you have the option to convert to monotheism.

Your ending theistic worldview shapes your scoring strategy. Gather resources for monotheism or excel in successful hunts for polytheism—your path to victory rests in your hands!

With intricate strategies, historical depth, and unpredictable challenges, Greenland invites you to forge your tribe's legacy in a land of ice and intrigue. Are you ready to rise against the elements and outwit your rivals?
