About the game
Promo building given out by Tony Boydell in November 2024 at his annual Gathering of Chums (hosted at The Kings Arms pub in Newent). The building is printed on cardstock similar to the cards in Nusfjord; the obverse has an amusing joke regarding Nusfjord, in the style of a pun from Tony's Blog (https://boardgamegeek.com/blog/344/everyone-needs-a-shed). Purchasing the card requires 5 wood, 3 fish and 2 gold. When built, it covers a 2 x 2 board area and the card includes a building called The Kings Arms'; the building is worth 4 Points at game end. The building's instructions include placing an Elder on the tile for use by all players; when the Elder would 'give fish', the owner takes 1 Gold into their reserve. In addition, The King's Arms counts as a Forested double space for Thin Out and can even be Deforested (if you REALLY need to) :)

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists Nusfjord: The Kings Arms for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Nusfjord: The Kings Arms belongs to these categories: Economic, Nautical, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Open Drafting, Worker Placement, and Turn Order: Claim Action.

Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Nusfjord: The Kings Arms are: Tony Boydell. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.
