Saltfjord - On the Short List for Game of the Year!

These mechanisms are so much fun, and we love that Aporta has brought them back with Saltfjord! Dice drafting, variable player powers, engine building...really good stuff, executed the just right way.

We share everything you might want to know about the game, so check it out, and let us know what you think.

Thanks a lot for a great first impression! Glad you liked it so much🥰

[Goldfinch]

I love your enthusiasm for this game. I have now just bought it and hope to learn and play it tomorrow.

re: the title, i think the only games that have a chance of beating it for my tastes are star trek fleet captains (though i'm starting to think that will be a 2025 game?) or maybe res arcana duo :)

[heatherdash]

Can't wait for this game to come to Canada!

[likearainbow]

Really like your wall! how are the boxes fixed? Are they empty?

[djmurp]

Loved the mechanisms and gameplay of Santa Maria and I was excited about this one but the graphic design and board layout is too busy. I’ll probably end up playing it but that is a little frustrating. 😞 For folks who don’t have this issue, you’re in for a treat.

[Vadjong]

Seems like the 'Feast for Odin' for the current generation 😊

[filippomaradei]

Between this, Galileo Galilei and Resafa, which one would you pick, if you only can buy one? Which euro impressed you the most? Purely from a mechanic standpoint, since I'm ok with all the themes.

(Dice placement fan here, too! :D)

This video is shorter than 42 minutes! So does it really beat out Minos? :D

[jacobjslee]

I hope this game gets more attention than Arcs. That one did not work for me, but I have more hope for this one.

[renatotavares]

Seems to be very similar to Santa Maris, that I love, but already own. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Carsten_de_]

Santa Maria was already great. It didn't get much recognition. This game might flop because of this, too, no?
I still adore Santa Maria. :)

[fredcabr]

Interested, but for me…. That board is sensory overload. I might seek Santa Maria instead.

[neilwalker]

Game of the year, which year? The vast majority of people won't be able to play until April 2025.

Which seems like a complete misjudgement of production requirements 😁

[conmacaodha]

I know it’s in the eye of the beholder.
But for me the art/design is terrible. 😞

[RedBird]

What are problematic themes that sounds like an opinion to me. Sure miss Jeremy.

[robertheagy]

Santa Maria was problematic? That was a really great game. I'm getting so tired of weak minded men.
