Sagas of the Icelanders is a roleplaying game about the lives of Icelandic settlers in the saga period (late 9th century to 11th century A.D.). The system and mechanics are based on Apocalypse World by Vincent Baker (similarly to Monsterhearts, Dungeon World and tremulus) and the setting has been thoroughly informed by historical and literary sources about the period, in particular the original Icelandic family sagas.

The game focuses on the stories of normal (but badass) people, facing problems related to survival, religion, gender roles, disputes with neighbors, blood feuds and other conflicts straight from the sagas.
