Take On The Role Of Two Competing Jarls In Pearl Games’ Lofoten

February 6, 2023 by brennon

Pearl Games are offering up the chance to play as a couple of competing Jarls in their new board game, Lofoten. See who comes out on top in this head-to-head clash between two players.

Lofoten // Pearl Games

In this game, you'll be exploring the archipelago of Lofoten in the heart of Viking territory. Rather than just raiding and pillaging, you're going to be seeing if you can embrace settlement building and merchantile activities as you try and make the most of four essential goods that are available for you to tinker with.

Lofoten Gameplay // Pearl Games

During gameplay, you will be loading items onto your longships from the market and bringing them back to your clan. Each type of item has specific scoring bonuses and so you'll be trying to beat your opponent to the punch when it comes to claiming them for your own clan. The focus is then that you'll gain Power Points and race towards having the highest final score.

As well as being a challenging two-player experience where you'll be trying to out-merchant your opponent, you'll also be wrestling with a hand management system and a fun, rotating board that changes up the game state between turns.

I think this sounds like a fascinating challenge for two players and if you'd like to know more, check out the Rulebook for yourself!
