Good evening you are listening to Three Moves Head, and I'm your host, Rob Zackney.

Joining me tonight, we welcome Three Moves Head founder, Troy Goodfellow.

Hello, everyone.

We're also joined by freelance writer Ian Boudreau.

Hey, everybody.

And finally, we have freelance writer Cameron Kanzelman.

Hello.

So tonight we're going to be digging into North Card by Shiro Games, which is sort of a survival RTS city builder.

And Ian and Cameron had actually both put this on my radar via Twitter and some things they'd written.

But Cameron, I wanted to start with you because you wrote a piece for us over at

Waypoint last week about sort of the hard choices that North Guard is constantly forcing on you.

And I was hoping you could sort of, you know, start us off here by laying out what North Guard is

and where those decision points are coming at you from?

Yeah, sure.

So Northcard is a, golly, Viking game, we'll say.

We'll start from the beginning.

And it's like a Viking subsistence simulation game.

So it's tile-based.

They're large tiles. And in those tiles, you can build X number of buildings for some

tiles. It's like three, for some it's four, for some it's five. And those buildings have units

that are assigned to them. And so it's a game about taking tiles, building buildings, and then

assigning units to those buildings in a strategic way. And this all takes place on a big island, and the island has other factions on it.
