Tir Na Nòg (FR)

*French version

Tír na nÓg (FR) transports players into the heart of Irish mythology, within the mysterious realm of the Otherworld where fairies, ancient heroes, and magical creatures reside. In this beautiful strategic card game, players become Celtic storytellers seeking to return home with the greatest tales ever told in order to create an immortal saga.

Each round, players place their storytellers between story cards arranged in a shared grid. This clever placement and drafting system constantly creates meaningful tactical decisions: secure a powerful card, block an opponent, or prepare future combinations for your own personal tableau.

Once all storytellers have been placed, cards are drafted in reverse turn order, adding another layer of strategic tension. Collected cards are then used to build personal sagas made up of colors, symbols, and scoring combinations.

Every row of your tableau scores differently according to the Geis cards in play, encouraging players to continuously adapt their strategy. Building large connected groups of matching colors also becomes essential for maximizing points and legendary prestige.

Tír na nÓg brilliantly delivers accessible strategic depth through elegant and fluid gameplay. Matches remain fast-paced while every decision feels important, especially when anticipating opponents’ plans and optimizing your own saga.

The mythological atmosphere is beautifully enhanced by the enchanting artwork from Marlies Barends and Brigette Indelicato. Every card feels like a fragment of an ancient Irish legend filled with wonder and mystery.

You will likely enjoy Tír na nÓg (FR) if you appreciate clever drafting games, tableau-building mechanics, and fantasy worlds inspired by Celtic mythology. Fans of Cascadia, 7 Wonders, or It’s a Wonderful World will discover a deeply satisfying and elegant strategic experience.

The game was designed by Isaac Shalev and Jason Slingerland, both known for creating accessible games with excellent tactical depth. Tír na nÓg also gained significant popularity thanks to its strong presence on Board Game Arena and its unique mythological setting.

An interesting fact: in Irish mythology, Tír na nÓg literally means "Land of Eternal Youth", a magical realm where time does not exist and beauty and happiness last forever.
