@mr.ister and I plan to play a round or two of synchronous Nidavellir on BGA at 2021-05-03T19:00:00Z. The game plays five players. I know the game but haven’t played on BGA. I think it should be easy enough to teach via chat. Nidavellir is a set collection and auction game that is played over a fixed number of rounds. You make bids to hire dwarves from three taverns each round in an attempt to build up the best army. Alternatively you try to upgrade the coins you are making your bids with. I don’t actually know enough about auctions to explain what type of auction it is… ---

Love the forum auto local time thingy, but when it says 4:00 AM for a live game I know it’s just not happening for me. ---

Yours. I used the forum gimmick thing that calculates time for your timezone. For me and @mr.ister it will be 9pm. ---

FYI: We were not planning on using voice in order to not disturb any children sleeping close-by. I know lalunaverde and mrister’s nicks on BGA. @KIR2: yours I don’t know. ---

Glad we got to find out how to turn an auction game into a train game and we only needed @lalunaverde to show us the way… ---

Also fun fact: Unsurprisingly, Mark is wrong to say that Fenrir will swallow the moon at the end of the world, as that is patently absurd. Fenrir swallows the sun, which makes perfect sense. Except, of course, for renditions where Fenrir’s children Skoll and Hati swallow the … > [@yashima](#): > > Nidavellir is a set collection and auction game that is played over a fixed number of rounds. You make bids to hire dwarves from three taverns each round in an attempt to build up the best army. Alternatively you try to upgrade the coins you are making your bids with. Does the game have an option of upgrading your bid by trading the coins for beer? Seems like a sure-fire way of recruiting dwarves. 🙂
