What is Landnama?

Landnama is a single-player survival strategy game about Viking clans settling ninth-century Iceland. Across a series of hex-grid regions, you explore for landmarks, build settlements, and manage Heart, the only resource, to finish each settlement before winter exhausts it. Clans have different skills, and you can pause the clock.

For you if...

+you enjoy managing scarce resources under time pressure
+you like replaying challenges to improve completion times or scores

Not for you if...

−you want combat and raiding in a Viking game
−you prefer turns rather than a clock you can pause

What players say

Players praise the planning required by its puzzle-like design. Common complaints focus on repetitive settlements, limited strategic variety, and little new to discover after completing a saga.
