Jórvík*

For several decades during the Viking Age, parts of England were occupied by the Norsemen. Under their influence, one of the larger cities transformed into a thriving center of trade and craftsmanship, known as "Jórvík," which corresponds to present-day York.

Players assume the roles of Viking chieftains, earning prestige points through trading goods, hosting grand feasts, financing raids, hiring craftsmen, and recruiting soldiers to defend the city against recurring invasions. The player with the most prestige points at the end wins. The game features a basic version that aligns with a previous title and an advanced version that incorporates its expansion.
