The North Sea Runesaga is an epic competition for 2-4 players to collect the most Runestones and earn the highly coveted title of Chieftain. Players will progress through each chapter of the North Sea saga (Shipwrights, Raiders and Explorers).

Each chapter offers 3 unique Runestones for players to collect. These are awarded to the first player to achieve a particular objective. Gaining these Runestones also awards players advantages in successive chapters. Each of these Runestones also have 1 or 2 inscriptions (Shield, Horn and Hammer). The first player to gain 3 inscriptions of 1 type collects an additional Runestone for their efforts.

Players also gain 2 Runestones for winning each chapter or 1 Runestone for coming a close second. However, Runestones collected this way do not award any in-game advantages or inscriptions.

Once all 3 chapters have been played, the player with the most Runestones is the overall winner and takes the title of Chieftain!

Benjamin ★★★★★

Finally got to link my whole campaign into a single saga instead of three separate game nights, and earning Runestones across every chapter makes the wins actually carry weight. The Chieftain title is a genuinely satisfying thing to chase when you're playing with four people who all want it.

Hannah ★★★★★

The chapter-based progression is such a clever touch—each round adds a new twist so no two games feel the same. My group of four fought over Runestones for two hours and it flew by. Ending the night with one of us demanding a rematch for the Chieftain title says it all.

Ruby B. ★★★★★

The race to snatch Runestones before your rivals gets properly tense by the third chapter, and the way each round shifts the scoring keeps everyone on edge. Played it twice back-to-back with three players and the competition for Chieftain felt genuinely earned, not luck-driven.
