We'll play Inis (with the Nemed expansion), a card-drafting, area-control game.

Please watch the rules for the base game beforehand: https://youtu.be/y_gfOz6aEBw?si=44r-1ayXKboxuzZH

I will do a rules overview and explain the rules of the expansion before we start play.

Please enable direct messaging, if we cannot reach you we may move you to the Waitlist.

==================

Inis is a game deeply rooted in Celtic history and lore in which players win by being elected King of the Island (Inis). Players can try to achieve one of three different victory conditions:

  • Leadership: Be the leader — i.e., have more clan figures than any other player — of territories containing at least six opponents' clans.
  • Land: Have your clans present in at least six different territories.
  • Religion: Have your clans present in territories that collectively contain at least six sanctuaries.

At the start of each round, players draft a hand of four action cards during the Assembly. Action cards not played at the end of one season are not held for the next. Players also have access to leader cards for the territories that allow it and where they were elected leader during the assembly. Each Assembly reallocates those cards. Finally, they collect "epic tales" cards that depict the deeds of the ancient Irish gods and heroes, like Cuchulainn, the Dagda, Lugh and many others. These will be kept and used to inspire the clans and achieve extraordinary feats under the right circumstances. The cards provide a variety of actions: adding clans, moving clans, building/exploring, and special actions. Over the course of the game, players also earn deeds, that reduce by one the total for any Victory condition.

=============================
The fee will be paid directly to the venue and the cost is about $80. They do not sell food there; you can bring in takeaways but please refrain from eating at the game board.
