How to Play

Play in a clockwise direction. As the Vikings were a very

f

ierce

people, the pla

y

er with the

g

rimmest frown starts. If

y

ou can

not agree, the youngest player starts and rolls the dice.

Alwa

Game Idea

Each time a Viking ship returns to the village the treasure

load is auctioned off. But onl

y

the pla

y

er who bids the most

m

atchin

g

equipment cards will

g

et all the

j

ewels from the

ship. Beware: don’t bid too many cards as you need some

left in

y

our hand to bid in case the dan

g

erous pirate Lars

comes to the villa

g

e or to win the ‘Nessie’ loot at the end

o

f

the game. The aim o

f

the game is to collect the most

precious

j

ewels.

Preparation of the Game

Place the game board in the center o

f

the table and put the

f

our ships on the startin

g

square. Put the 36

j

ewels into the

little bag. Then pull three jewels out o

f

the bag and place

one on eac

h

own on t

h

e game

board. Later on durin

g

the

g

ame the other

j

ewels will also

be placed on the various ships.

S

hu

ff

le all the equipment cards and deal them

f

ace-down

until each pla

y

er has six; pla

y

ers then pick the cards up. The

r

emaining equipment cards are put

ace-down in a provision

ttacks the Viking village. Now all the players play simultaneously:

Each one places at least one or an

number o

equipment cards

f

ace-down in front of him. The color of the e

q

ui

p

ment card is

of

no importance. As soon as equipment cards are

rom

“-

.

•

If

various players have bet the same lowest value,

all of them have to draw a

I

•The tri-colored equipment cards can be used as

jokers for any color. There is no limit to the number

The player who bet the highest total value gets all the jewels

ship is then

returned to the starting square.
