The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway | Landnama (Viking Survival Settlement Builder - Playtest)

Описание: Landnama is a wonderful game where we have to build a Viking settlement in Iceland and, against the odds, survive against the elements! That's right, our enemy is Winter!

The one single resource in the game is hearts, which represent everything our settlement needs to survive. The more hearts we have, the more likely we are to not die a bit. But at the end of each year is Winter which saps away a random amount of hearts, so we have to be prepared as best we can.

To survive we need to expand by exploring, but this requires hearts, and also we need to build things to expand the settlement, but building also requires hearts, so there's a fine balance between expanding to get more hearts and having enough hearts in reserve to survive winter.

As we explore we find exciting things to give us special boosts but also we have random events to deal with and they're often not positive things...

Oh, and for a nice change of pace for a Viking game, there's no combat! No fighting! Marvellous!

Also apologies for my slightly croaky voice at points, I've caught another cold (courtesy of the kids)!

NOTE: This is the playtest version of the game.

In the 9th century, Vikings crossed the sea to establish the first settlements in Iceland, documented for the ages in the great book of Landnama. Select a clan and attempt to settle this unwelcoming land, but you’ll need to choose your strategy wisely to survive the ever increasingly harsh toll of winter and complete your saga.

The thrill of a dungeon crawler with the vibe of a city builder, Landnama is a survival strategy game that forces you to carefully decide your next step. Explore the land and discover hidden challenges and powerful landmarks. Build your settlement and brace for the punishing Winter’s Toll. Settle each region with differently skilled clans while facing ever increasing challenges and no second chances.

Only one resource exists in the game, Heart, but it must be invested wisely. Heart can be gained in many ways, whether you want to focus on exploring the land as a hunting clan or by building your settlement into a thriving production hub. Establish a completed settlement before winter takes your final heart, but how you get there is up to you.

This isn't your typical Viking game, there is no combat or raiding. These are farmers, explorers, and builders. But conflict isn’t missing, it comes in the form of a harsh winter that you’ll need every bit of your focus to survive.

Landnama is a taxing race against time with an ever present ticking clock pushing you always closer to winter, but it’s also a beautiful world where you can freeze time and enjoy the atmospheric music and art. Explore in detail the settlement you’ve built and the animated denizens that populate it.
