The result is a modern strategy game with strong thematic focus and meaningful decisions.
Over three rounds players draft dice to activate buildings in their settlement. These provide resources and trigger key actions such as sending out the fishing boat advancing along technology tracks completing trade orders or constructing new buildings. Each player board shows a grid and when a die is drafted all buildings in the corresponding row or column are activated. As your settlement grows each die becomes more powerful and every choice matters.
Technology tracks unlock powerful abilities including upgrades for your fishing boat and more efficient production paths. Fishing remains a central element tightly connected to planning progress and timing. Saltfjord rewards thoughtful strategy while maintaining a smooth and engaging flow of play.
With variable setup including different special abilities and end game scoring tiles Saltfjord offers high replayability. Every session tells a new story of growth adaptation and the courage to embrace change.
