How to play the game Knarr?

Game Setup

Place the central board in the center of the table and prepare the two types of cards: Commercial Lands and Lands of Influence (each revealed in three copies).

Give each player a ship board, 3 silver bracelets, and 3 recruit tokens, as well as an initial hand of Viking cards.

Arrange the remaining Viking cards in a visible line to form the recruitment market.

Gameplay outline

In turn, each player performs one of two main actions:

  • Recruit Vikings: Play a card to strengthen your crew and activate bonuses based on the aligned colors.
  • Explore new lands: Spend cards of your choice to take a Destination card, generating resources and points.
    In addition, each turn, you can trade silver bracelets to trigger additional effects on your board.

Win/Loss Condition

The game ends when a player reaches or exceeds a predetermined score threshold (often around 40 points). All players then complete the same number of turns, and the player with the highest score wins.

  • Build a balanced crew

    Vary the colors and types of Vikings recruited to maximize cumulative bonuses and optimize your upcoming turns.

  • Choose your explorations wisely

    Commercial Lands often provide useful resources, while Lands of Influence offer direct points: find the right balance as the game progresses.

  • Use your wristbands at the right time

    Spending your silver bracelets at the right time triggers powerful effects: don't waste them too early in the game.
