## Description

Recent storms have left longships torn apart, with their precious cargo scattered across the rocky shores. Meanwhile, rumours of great fortresses in nearby regions are beginning to spread. Will you be the first to salvage the wrecks, or will you throw caution to the wind and charge the enemy fortresses for fame and glory?Rocks of Ruin adds new ways to score with salvaging Shipwrecks, building Structures and raiding Fortresses. When placing tiles with a Shipwreck, a token is taken from the supply and placed facedown on the tile. Players may spend an action with 1 Viking to salvage a Shipwreck. They will either find Timber for building Structures, Provisions for additional actions, Battering Rams for raiding with 1 fewer Viking, or precious Gold worth 3 Victory Points at the game's end.*This is not a standalone game.

Review: Good expansion - Helps the game last longer and gives a fun dynamic. Island tiles can be large and the fortresses offer another way to score points. Also allows for 5 Vikings to play and spread trade, or death and destruction as opportunities arise.
Review: There are pointy rocks - It's a good expansion for a good game. I just wish it added dinosaurs and lasers

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good expansion
*by T***R on October 24, 2024*

Helps the game last longer and gives a fun dynamic. Island tiles can be large and the fortresses offer another way to score points. Also allows for 5 Vikings to play and spread trade, or death and destruction as opportunities arise.

### ⭐⭐⭐ There are pointy rocks
*by I***E on October 27, 2021*

It's a good expansion for a good game. I just wish it added dinosaurs and lasers

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must buy for Explorers of the North Sea
*by M***S on September 21, 2021*

I enjoyed Explorers of the North Sea but it felt like there was something missing. This expansion turns a good game into a great game. It adds extra game mechanics that work well in the game and gives you much more to do than just conquer settlements , fight other ships and gather livestock. It added specialized buildings that change some of the rules of the game. There is also shipwrecks that can be salvaged for gold for extra victory points, battering rams to reduce the number of warriors needed to raid, wood for building structures, and extra provisions for more moves. The addition of the extra tiles also makes the game go longer which is good because it felt a little short.
