Jórvík
For several decades during the Viking age, parts of England were occupied by the Norsemen. Under their influence, one of the larger cities turned into a flourishing center of trade and craftsmanship. The Vikings called the city and its surrounding kingdom "Jórvík", which is today known as the city of York.
What is Jórvík
For several decades during the Viking age, parts of England were occupied by the Norsemen. Under their influence, one of the larger cities turned into a flourishing center of trade and craftsmanship. The Vikings called the city and its surrounding kingdom "Jórvík", which is today known as the city of York.
In the game Jórvík, players assume the roles of Viking jarls. They gather prestige points by trading goods, holding big feasts, funding pillages, commissioning craftsmen and hiring soldiers to defend the city against recurring invasions. The player with the most prestige points wins.
The game is a re-design of Die Speicherstadt (2010). In this game, players acquire cards from a card display through a simple yet brilliant worker placement and bidding mechanism to build up their trading empires. Jórvík includes two versions: A base game that is equivalent to Die Speicherstadt, and an advanced game that equates to Die Speicherstadt including its expansion Kaispeicher.

What the community says about Jórvík
As excellent as the reimplemented original game, The Speicherstadt. Played the base game (I have never played the Kaispeicher expansion). In my opinion, both the theme and art were far more interesting in the original. But of course this is just a personal question. The game is just superb, with one of the best auction mechanisms I have met.

Underrated game The only thing for it to shine is that should be played at 4 or 5 count, never less An exquisite auction system without being too stressful. Suitable for everyone, gamers or not Again, what an underrated game
