    Description

    Vasa Regalis: The Maiden Voyage is a game of the building and launching of the Vasa ship. The players take on the roles of shipyard leaders in 17th century Stockholm who have been given a royal order - the building and launching of the greatest battle ship ever seen. But to manage the delivery, they must procure goods, craft them into building material and use them to build the ship. At the same time, they must make a profit by secretly deciding how much to use for the ship and how much to keep for themselves. The players' total contribution determines the fate of the ship. If she is successful, the player who put most aside wins but if she is a disaster, only the player who put most into the ship will be spared the King's wrath. Each player must thus closely monitor the other players' strategies to determine whether to spend or to save. The victory conditions will not be clear until the game is over - but then it is too late to change the strategy.

    Game mechanisms include:

    1. Role-based: The players choose roles to perform actions, actions that give some players more benefits than others.
    2. Economic balance: The players need to balance between the good types (wood, cloth, iron and sculptures) so that they always have something to work with.
    3. Ambiguous victory conditions: The victory conditions depend on the sum of the players' actions and will not be clear until the game ends.
    4. Guessing game: A player strategy is not visible to the other players and must be deduced from their actions.

    Vasa Regalis is the fourth game in the Nova Suecia series.
