1. Assemble the gameboard using Landscape boards, placing 2 Houses, 2 Watchtowers, and 3 Castles in their corresponding spaces
2. Place the Trophy board and 5 Trophies along one edge of the gameboard
3. Place the Ocean board along one edge and put 30 Long ships into a bag, drawing out 5 and placing them on Ocean spaces
4. Create a reserve for Resources (Axes, Wood, Sheep, and Gold)
5. Each player selects a colour and takes components: 1 Fjord, 13 Vikings, and 3 Shields
6. Shuffle and distribute random Construction Site tiles (Ports, Altars, Jarl Palaces) to each player
7. The player who lives furthest north goes first

Placing a Viking (mandatory):

1. Vikings must be placed adjacent to another Viking or a Longship
2. Vikings cannot be placed on a Resource space already occupied by another Viking
3. Take a corresponding Resource tile from the reserve and place it on an empty space on your Fjord
4. Check for capturing a Building; play passes to the next player if out of Vikings

Capturing a Building (conditional):

• Different rules for capturing Houses, Watchtowers, and Castles

Buildings:

1. Houses: Capture by placing a Viking adjacent to a House
2. Watchtowers: Capture by connecting two Watchtowers with Vikings of your colour
3. Castles: Capture by chaining at least 4, 8, or 12 Vikings of your colour, with at least one adjacent to a Castle

Longships:

1. Selecting a Longship (optional): Place on an empty space on your Fjord and draw another Longship for the Ocean board
2. Filling Longships: Fill with indicated Resources to earn bonuses; unfilled Longships lose 5 victory points at the end

Using a Shield (optional):

• Use when placing a Viking for a specific advantage; flip the Shield after use

Construction Sites:

• Three types in your Fjord; complete by placing required Resources and Buildings adjacent to them
• Completed Construction Sites earn victory points

Claiming a Trophy (optional):

• At the end of your turn, claim a Trophy if you have enough Axes
• Place the Trophy on your Fjord with the victory points side visible

Game End:

• After all players have placed their Vikings, calculate victory points
• Add points for Castles, Watchtowers, Houses, Gold, Sheep, Wood, completed Construction Sites, and claimed Trophies
• Subtract 5 points for each unfilled Longship
• Player with the most points becomes the next Jarl; ties broken by highest value Trophy or shared victory if no tiebreaker
