About this product

Salvage the wrecks. Build your foothold. Raid the fortresses.

New tiles, structures, shipwrecks and fortresses expand your North Sea adventures.

Add new ways to explore, build and score in Explorers of the North Sea, including support for a fifth player.

Product Description

Recent storms have torn longships apart and scattered valuable cargo across the rocky shores, while rumours spread of powerful fortresses waiting to be challenged.

Explorers of the North Sea: Rocks of Ruin expands the base game with new opportunities to salvage Shipwrecks, construct Structures and raid Fortresses. Shipwrecks can reveal useful resources including Timber, Provisions, Siege Weapons and Gold, opening up new tactical choices throughout the game. 

Use Timber to build Mills, Workshops and Barracks, each unlocking its own lasting benefit. Fortresses offer another route to rewards and victory points, but raiding them requires a strong Viking presence and may cost you warriors in battle. 

Rocks of Ruin also expands the game to 2–5 players and includes a mini expansion for The North Sea Runesaga.

Explorers of the North Sea is required to play.
