Explore A Viking Landscape In New Edition Of Fjords On Kickstarter
April 2, 2021 by fcostin
Do you remember Fjords by when it was released in 2005? It was a game where you, as a Viking Clan Leader, would tactically pillage your way into new horizons, in search of new lands across the coast of Norway. Well, Fjords is getting a makeover, and is on Kickstarter right now, smashing through its goals!

The rules of this ever-popular tile-placing game have stayed the same, but the Kickstarter acts as a reprint containing all new artwork, and some new mini-expansions to grow your landscape further.
Fjords is a fantastic game for two people, as you will be required to go head to head with your clan-leader opponent and fight tactically to earn the best plot of land. Let's face it, the Vikings of Norway were not exactly a peaceful and zen bunch - so conflict was a given.

I really like seeing successful games such as Fjords get a remaster, to modernize it and bring gamers who didn't get the chance to play it the first time around, and connect with it today in all its glory!
The game's initial humble goal was to reach £4,684, but with no surprise - the reprint has been a success. Smashing through its target and currently standing at £77,151 - and still climbing. You can opt for a retail edition, or for Kickstarter backers only, a Deluxe edition is available too.
The game has got 11 days left to go, so if you are keen on returning to the North - be sure to check out the Kickstarter.

It can play 4 with two copies of the original or the Jarl edition on KS. If you get the Jarl version on KS it will save you from needing to purchase two copies at retail if you want to play with more than two players. I find that at first most people believe the game is to simple,… Read more »
