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, then yellow, and the highest is gray.
Buy a set of tiles and frames in order. The price is the number written on the corresponding part of the board. However, the 0 set can only be purchased when no other frames of that color remain. For example, if you have three blue frames in a row from 0 to 2, you can buy a set of 1 and 2 only 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 price of the game board by rotating it. This lowers the price of all sets.
The tiles and frames you buy must be immediately placed in your country (an L-shaped board). 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. It is necessary to connect the sea, 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 you just acquired together, you can place them. 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 Some of the frames in the column are no longer valid.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 a warrior's frame directly below the Vikings, you can prevent the Vikings from attacking you, but you can also score points and earn money.
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 income from the goldsmith. 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 also 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 to consider the characteristics of each frame of each frame.
