Mayfair Games will be releasing the worker placement and development board game Nusfjord from Uwe Rosenberg in November 2017.

Today, Nusfjord is a tranquil fishing village in the Lofted archipelago in northern Norway. 50 years ago, business was booming when the codfish would come for spawning. But, travel back in time and Nusfjord is completely transformed. Sailing ships dominate the fjord, and the rocky beauty of the island is masked by vast forests. Visit the heyday of Nusfjord’s maritime commerce and expansion, and success may be yours!

As the owner of a major fishing company in Nusfjord, your goal is to develop and expand the harbor and surrounding landscape. You will do this by using your workers to help you develop your fishing company, persuade village elders in the council to join you, and build buildings for valuable effects and victory points. Plus, don’t forget to expand your fishing fleet to increase your fishing capacity, and issue shares in your company for a quick gold or two. You also need to balance the clearing and reforesting of your land for building resources. And don’t forget the ever important gold needed to buy shares, which can earn you additional fish and points.

In the end, the player with the best fishing company (and most points) wins the game!

Nusfjord is for 1 to 5 players with play times being 20-100 minutes (20 minutes per player). The game is intended for ages 12 and up.

The game comes with 1 Action board, 1 Ships and Elders supply board, 1 Banquet table, 1 Building supply boards, 1 Imitation tile, 18 Ship tiles, 15 First player tiles, 100 Fish tokens, 50 Wood tokens, 1 Wooden start player ship, 18 Elder cards, 132 Building cards, 41 Gold Coins, 9 Multiplication tiles, 30 Forest tiles, 1 Rulebook, and 1 Appendix.
