In Gotlandia you take on the role as families on the island of Gotland competing for power and prestige through trade, piracy, and overly embellished churches.

The historical context of the game is the period 1100-1400 where Gotland as an independent island prospered on the trade in the Baltic Sea leading to the creation of magnificent churches across the island. The game ends when Gotland looses its independence after the Black Plague sweeps the island.

At the end of each century, players score victory points based on their position on the map of Gotland. At game end players also score points for sunk pirates, buried treasure, and magnificent churches.

Deck building, hand management, worker placement, area control.

Premiered at LinCon 2024, this is an updated version of the game.
