New October Products from Stronghold Games!

Release Date: October 2016


SG4005
Jórvík

$59.95 SRP

For several decades during the Viking age, parts of England were occupied by the Norsemen. Under their influence, one of the larger cities turned into a flourishing center of trade and craftsmanship. The Vikings called the city and its surrounding kingdom "Jórvík", which is today known as the city of York. In Jórvík, players assume the roles of Viking jarls. They gather prestige points by trading goods, holding big feasts, funding pillages, commissioning craftsmen, and hiring soldiers to defend the city against recurring invasions. They do so by acquiring cards from the card display through a simple yet brilliant worker placement and bidding mechanism, building up their trading empires. The player with the most prestige points wins.

Jórvík is a re-design "Die Speicherstadt" (2010). Jórvík includes two versions: A base game that is equivalent to "Die Speicherstadt", and an advanced game that adds in the mechanics of the original expansion "Kaispeicher". Jórvík is designed by Stefan Feld.

In Great Western Trail, you are rival cattlemen in 19th century America, herding cattle in a circular trail around the state of Texas.

Upon each arrival at the destination station, have your most valuable cattle in tow. The winner is the player who manages their herd best and exhibits good timing in mastering the opportunities and pitfalls of the Great Western Trail. This game is designed by Alexander Pfister.

SG8025

Fuji Flush is a fast, fun, easy-to-learn card game for 3-8 players that will have both families and gamers shouting as their cards are sent down the drain!

SG8026
Fabled Fruit

$44.95 SRP

Once upon a time there was a marvelous forest full of gorgeous fruits. These fruits could be squeezed and mixed into the most delicious juices. You live in this forest and are in search of the most savory fruits. Friendly forest dwellers will help you in different ways. You are greedy and thirsty. Who will be the first to satisfy their appetite for Fabled Fruits? This is a "Fable Game", a new and unique concept in game experiences, where the game play changes over time. The game starts in an initial, simple state, but as you explore deeper into the game system, the mechanisms and game play will evolve over time. Unlike in a Legacy game, however, the game is never permanently changed. This Fable Game will remain just as playable on the 20th play as it was on the first play.
