How to play Nidavellir Idavoll?

Game Setup

The Idavoll expansion requires the base game Nidavellir. During setup, replace some Age 1 cards with Idavoll cards. These cards are divided into three new types: Gods, Giants, and Valkyries. If you already own Nidavellir, be aware that both expansions are fully compatible for a complete experience.

Gameplay outline

The core of the game remains "coin-building," but Idavoll changes the game in the first tavern. When you recruit a mythical card, you unlock unique powers. Valkyries impose quests to earn points, while Gods offer immediate or permanent bonuses. This is an additional tactical layer that expert board game playerswill particularly appreciate.

Win/Loss Condition

The endgame follows the classic rules of the base game: the player with the highest bravery value after the two Ages wins. Idavoll allows for much higher scores thanks to the divine multipliers. For those who enjoy intense collection games, this title pairs well with a session of On the Origin of Species.

Our Tips for Winning

  • Do not neglect the Valkyries

    The Valkyries give you specific challenges (e.g., having a certain number of dwarves of a particular class). If you meet their conditions, they grant a lot of points at the end of the game. It's a scoring engine as powerful as the best Carcassonnecombinations.

  • Use the Giants to disrupt your opponents

    Giants often have destructive or theft abilities. They allow you to break enemy synergies, much like you can "push" or trap each other in Room 25 Ultimate. Identify the player dominating a class and use a Giant to curb their ascent.

  • Save your strong pieces for the Gods

    Since Idavoll cards appear mostly in the first tavern, don't be afraid to bet big early on. Getting a powerful God early in Age 1 can shape your entire recruitment strategy for the rest of the game. Managing your coins is just as crucial here as managing your resources in Galèrapagos.
