Hex Marks The Norse Spot! | Skapheim (Norse-Themed World Builder)

Skapheim is a Norse-themed city builder/world builder game where we construct Norse landscapes under the watchful eye of Odin, and if he's not happy then he'll cast them, and us, into the bleakness of the void... We need to make sure that we balance stability (which I keep calling security...) with prosperity, resources which are generated by playing landscape tiles and buildings. Each season we get to invest in hex tiles (yay hexagons!), such as meadows, forests, rivers, mountains and the like. These each have their own adjacency bonuses and buffs. Then we can put buildings onto them to generate even more stability and prosperity. Again, these have their own special placement bonuses, so watchtowers work better on mountains, farms work well on meadows, that kind of thing. Then at the end of each season we multiply our stability total and our prosperity total to get 'worth', with the idea being to gain a set worth each year to keep Odin happy! We can also complete quests for one-off bonuses and also we can build powerful obelisks which generate resources every single season. Oh and we're helped by a Norse squirrel thing.

Draft terrain, buildings, contracts, and obelisks from the Nornir’s Market, then turn a small patch of the Void into a realm strong enough to survive Odin’s judgment. Create Powerful Synergies Connect roads, shape rivers, settle forests and mountains, and place buildings where their bonuses matter most. Every placement can strengthen nearby structures, complete a contract, or prepare a much larger score later. Build for the current season—or sacrifice short-term gains for a run-defining combination. Change the Rules of Every Run Contracts reward challenging objectives with new bonuses. Obelisks score season after season and transform the value of your realm. Adapt to a shifting market, discover new strategies, and turn whatever fate offers into a working engine. Survive the Turning Seasons Each year ends with Odin measuring your realm’s Worth: Prosperity multiplied by Stability. Meet the rising target to continue. Fall short, and the Void takes everything. Focused 10–30 minute runs make every defeat a lesson—and every new realm another chance to earn your name. ---------------------------- Channel graphics designed by Penge in The Geek Cupboard.
