Tír na nÓg: Once Upon a Card

Post by BalGAmor »

Image

The path to Tír na nÓg, a world that exists alongside ours, where no one ages and there is no sickness, death sorrow or want, is open once more. The greatest Celtic storytellers are setting out for the legendary Otherworld. Along the way, they'll meet mythical creatures, experience unforgettable adventures, and return home with stories to weave into an epic saga. In the end, only the greatest saga will be remembered.
 
Played over 5 rounds, every card you play is a chapter in your legend. Every round is divided in 3 phases. You begin with the Journey Phase, where your Storytellers depart on a great voyage to reach the realm of Tír na nÓg, adventuring through fog and mist to a land of youth and promise. Then comes the Saga phase, where your Storytellers, having tasted the Land of Eternal Youth, return home to sing songs and spin tales of their adventures, recording them in a great Saga. At the end of a round, the Cleanup phase, you discard a card from your hand, leaving you with as many cards as there are rounds left.
 
Tír na nÓg features a solo mode in which Balor, the evil-eyed chieftain of the Fomóire, has his own vision of his legacy. He has recruited his own Storytellers to retell the stories with himself as the hero! But you must preserve the truth of the Otherworld…
 
Journey into Celtic mythology, gather legendary encounters, and craft the saga that will be remembered forever.

A heartfelt thank you to Isaac Shalev and Jason Slingerland, the game designers, as well as Grand Gamers Guild, the publisher, for allowing this Celtic tale to make it on the platform. And the bards will praise andrelmlins for the BGA adaptation.
 
This was your Wednesday release.
Some stories deserve to become legends. Take care and play fair…

Sounds fun! Actually though, the Way has been open for about 2k years though. Also known as the Truth and the Life ❤️

Preaching Christianity over what is essentially a tribute to Celtic mythology is hilarious if you know some history, thanks for the chuckle :lol:

Hi, do you may be know, why it's not possible to translate (there is no text in translations)? I saw this issue in some different games recently...

This comes across as mocking someone for their religious beliefs, just so you know what the "look" is. Irrelevant to the game completely. Mods should delete all of this.

If you think I'm mocking anyone for their beliefs, then you clearly don't have the (very basic) knowledge of Irish and Celtic history to see the unintentional humor in the post I originally quoted, or the reading comprehension to parse a very straightforward comment. I can't help you with either, sorry.
