Watch “Tír na nÓg Review, Tir na nOg is a card drafting board game about taking a journey to the Otherworld,” a board game review on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Tabletop Bellhop on YouTube:
Journey to the Otherworld in Tír na nÓg from Grand Gamers Guild. Use your storytellers to draft cards and build a tableau to match your Geas. This Celtic themed game is a rewarding mathy puzzle, but that mathy-ness may turn some people off.
Since originally recording this review, Tir na nOg completely sold out. Grand Gamers Guild ran a second kickstarter for a new printing and that version is just about to hit stores. This new edition also fixed many of the problems in the first printing. For example the errors on the Geas cards we mentioned have all been fixed!

🛎️ From the Publisher:
The Game
In the Irish myth cycles, the land of Tír na nÓg is the realm of the Otherworld, the place where the Fairies lived and heroes visited on quests. It was a place just outside the realm of man, off to the west, where there was no illness or death or time, but only happiness and beauty.
The golden path to Tír na nÓg is open again, and the greatest Celtic Storytellers have gathered for a once-in-a-lifetime journey. When they return, they’ll bring with them tales of the creatures they met and the adventures they lived. Over time those stories will become a saga — and the most epic saga will live on forever.
Play overview
Journey to the Otherworld by placing Storytellers between Story cards in the shared grid. When all Storytellers have been placed, draft cards and add them to your hand. From your hand, add cards to your tableau - one card to hand, one card played. At the end of 5 rounds, score each row according to the rules on its corresponding Goal card, and earn points for having the most connected Story cards of each color. The highest score wins.
