How to play
Ships appear and vanish at sea, one at a time. Count only the ships and tap the right number (or use keys 1 to 4). Six counts, with at most two mistakes.
The story behind it
Magnus Erlendsson was killed on the island of Egilsay, around 1117, and later remembered as a saint. The counting in the game is made up. Read the story in Magnus of Orkney: the earl who refused to fight and was killed on the island of Egilsay.
