Burly Men at Sea

A folktale about a trio of large bearded fellows on a fantastical adventure at sea. Set in early 20th-century Scandinavia, the game unfolds through discovery, casting the player as storyteller and wayfinder.

Our Review

Excellent

4.5 stars: "A superb game that excels in just about every area, held back only by one or two notable flaws or a collection of smaller ones that prevent the game from earning full marks."
