SALTFJORD EN
In Saltfjord, you must decide if you will expand your settlement with new buildings, send you boat to collect fish, engage in trade, or pioneer new technologies to make everyday life easier. How will you shape the destiny of your village?
Saltfjord is set in a Norwegian fishing village, and is loosely based on the dice drafting mechanisms from "Santa Maria", but the game has otherwise been completely redesigned and expanded with new elements.
To add to the replayability, the game has lots of variable elements in the set-up, such as what special abilities and end scoring tiles are available.
Over three rounds, players draft dice to activate buildings in their settlement. This provides resources as well as activating actions such as sending out your fishing boat, advancing along the various technology tracks, completing trade orders, or erecting new buildings.
Each player's player board shows a grid. When you draft a die, you activate all buildings in the row or column corresponding to that die. By erecting building in your settlement, each die can activate more buildings.
The technology tracks unlocks special abilities, such as upgrading your fishing boat. And fishing is an important part of daily life in Saltfjord.
