Little þorp is a City Builder and Colony Management type Game. Build up your þorp (village), with your initial 3 little Vikings, Expand, Create more houses, and Gain Vikings from outside lands. Expand too quickly and you may struggle to provide for your little Vikings, causing death from starvation, hypothermia, or dehydration. You must keep your little Vikings warm, and make sure you have enough food to survive through the very cold little ice ages. send your villagers too far out of the þorp during an ice age and they will be brought to a very quick and cold death. Year 1 (in-game) will begin with 9 "months"(minutes) of a non-ice age season, where you must gather berries and fish before the first ice age comes, lasting 3 "months", freezing over the ice and putting the bushes into hibernation. Ultimately blocking the ability to get food for your Vikings. Each subsequent year extends the Little Ice Age's length, and shortens the non-ice age season to a minimum of 3 "months", however, the little ice ages will soon span past the year mark, and possibly multiple years.
