Sagnir

In the beginning there was only the Island, in balance with everything around it. From the depths rose mythical creatures, born of fire, air, earth and water. For a long time they lived in harmony. But the four elements grew restless and wanted to rule over one another. The balance broke, chaos took over and the mythical creatures went into hiding. In Sagnir you are one of the Guardians. Your task is to bring peace back to nature, so the creatures dare to appear again. Sagnir is a game in which you lay landscape tiles. During the game you draw cards of mythical creatures, and each card shows a certain pattern of the five landscape types. Your goal is to recreate that pattern with the tiles on the table. Then place your pawn on the right space and you summon the creature. That is how you collect points that count at the end. Whoever manages to bring back the most creatures becomes the true Keeper of the Island. All creatures in this game come from old Icelandic and Norse tales. In the separate Mythiopedia booklet you can read a story about each creature, which makes playing even a bit more magical. Sagnir is part of The Nordic Heritage series by Gamia Games, together with Vedur and Runir. A lovely game to lose track of time around the table together.
