Sugorokuya Fjord Board Game

"Fjord" is a game in which players secure a base by consistently placing terrain tiles on a common area in the first half, expanding the fjord-like terrain, and then expand from that base to secure more territory in the second half. This new version of the classic two-player game "Fjord," first released in 2005, has been adapted for up to four players. ★Why We Recommend It: This game tests your planning skills as you place terrain tiles with an eye toward the expansion of the second half, and your situational judgment as you read each other's intentions and secure land. Once you play to the end, you'll realize how important it is to place tiles and houses in the first half, and you'll want to try out various strategies. Another appealing feature is the easy-to-understand rules, allowing anyone to play immediately after a five-minute explanation. The pared-down rules are packed with tactics that adults can enjoy while also finding their brains puzzling. Highly recommended for adults who can concentrate and play at their leisure.
