A bid is made by placing any number of equipment cards of the
same color as the ship on the table (face up so others can see), or
to pass. One by one each of the players can increase the bid or
pass.
Important Viking rules:
• Each player may only display equipment cards once per round.
• The equipment cards which have all three colors can be used
as jokers, for any color. There is no limit to how many jokers
can be placed per round or player.
The player who bet the most cards, takes the equipment cards
in front of him and places them face-up as a discard pile in the
center of the table. He now gets all the jewels of the ship. The
empty ship is positioned at the end of the row and all ships are
moved on one position towards the village.
The players take the equipment cards in front of them back into
their hands.
Example
The red ship returns with a load of four jewels back to the village.
Sonja places two equipment cards in front of her. Michael passes.
Sebastian ups the bid to three cards placing two red equipment cards
and a joker in front of him. Luisa passes.
Sebastian has bet the most cards and places his three cards face-up on
the discard pile. He gets the four jewels of the red ship and the red ship
is placed at the end of the row.
Sonja takes her two equipment cards back into her hand.
