Tír na nÓg

The golden path to Tír na nÓg has opened once again, and the greatest Celtic storytellers have gathered for a unique journey to the Otherworld. When they return, they will bring with them tales of the creatures they have encountered and the adventures they have experienced. In time, these tales will become sagas… and the most epic of them all will endure forever.

Designed by Isaac Shalev and Jason Slingerland, Tír na nÓg can be enjoyed solo or in groups of up to 5 players, ages 10 and up, in sessions lasting approximately 45 minutes. Through hand management and worker placement mechanics, players will compete to score the most points possible by forming a unique saga in their play area with story cards.

A game of Tír na nÓg is played over 5 rounds. In each game, players will select and place three cards in their play area, ultimately forming a saga of 15 cards, arranged in a grid of three rows and five columns, which will determine the final score. The final position of a card in the personal play area is key, as it can generate more or fewer points.

During setup, each player receives three Geis cards that indicate how the cards will be scored (there are plenty of them, so every game is unique), and a central card market is laid out. On each turn, each player will place one of their three pawns at the intersection between two cards in the central market. Once all players have placed their pawns, they will take turns choosing cards and adding them to their personal play area.

The cards are divided into four different colors, and at the end of the game, the players with the largest regions of each color will earn additional points. They also have their own value, which gives points based on the objective cards; and they may even have an ability, which can trigger all kinds of effects.

Controlling the timing in Tír na nÓg is key, as two players may need the same card from the central market… but only one can keep it. However, there are different ways to score, so there are many combinations available to players. Ready to write the most epic saga that will last forever?
