Blacksmiths of Steinnheimr will transport you to a dwarven kingdom full of adventurers and artisans alike. In Steinnheimr, players find themselves competing amongst each other to meet the demands of the kingdom.
Will you focus on crafting items? Will you instead contribute to the expansion efforts, in an attempt to win the favor of the kingdom? Perhaps you will focus on upgrading your workshop, allowing you to craft higher value items than your competitors. During their turns players will need to find the best path to victory in order to rise above their competition.
Blacksmiths of Steinnheimr is a medium-light worker placement game for 2-4 players that is played in about 45 minutes. Turns move quickly, and the rules are simple to learn, allowing the game to be picked up and played easily.
On each turn, players will place and remove workers from the game board in order to take the various associated actions. Through doing so, they will gather resources, build upgrades, contribute to the kingdom and craft items. The game will end once a number of items have been crafted, varying by player count. The player with the most victory points at the end of the game will be declared the winner.
