Fate of the Norns - Card Bundle

I backed this set of cards on Kickstarter and am very pleased with the result. The game itself is very easy to learn, plays quickly and has a lot of hidden depth I was not expecting, until I actually played a few rounds of it.

This is a game designed for three players with the option of a fourth. Gameplay is based off of wagering for a treasure trove of three cards which are kept hidden from all players until a winning bid is placed. Players then use the cards from their hand in an attempt to take as many cards as possible from others to add to their own treasure pile. Combinations of cards can be played resulting in a supremacy (or trump) for a particular suit. Winning the bid doesn't necessarily guarantee you victory, as sometimes more points can be acquired by those who passed, through smart play and the use of supremacy. All of this can lead to some tense moments during play.

The deck of rune cards, while not required to play Gulveig, give a little more variety by adding different player specific effects depending on whether they won or lost the bid for the treasure trove. They are also handy to have for playing the Fate of Norns RPG.

The quality of the cards is fairly good with some fantastic art. They feel sturdy and are a nice standard poker size. However, after a few games the corners and sides on the back of my Gulveig deck started to show signs of wear, fortunately the fronts were unaffected. If you're particular about keeping your cards pristine, mare sure to SLEEVE THEM. My rune deck also has some minor pixelation, but these are small complaints and not worth lowering it to four stars, in my opinion.

Overall, this is a great game I would highly recommend.
