Description

Teflarok is a Norse themed card game using runes from the Elder Futhark alphabet and imagery of Norse gods and goddesses. It plays best with 3-9 players, but there is a 2 player variant included in the rules. Each player gets three "Words of Power" cards that show a selection of runes. You need to collect these runes (on Rune cards) in order to complete the Word. Upon completing the Word, you get the indicated number of Power Tokens. Throughout the game, you use your Power Tokens to bid on the Rune cards. The game centers around a unique silent bidding process that allows you to either get the Rune cards you need or gain more Power tokens. During a bidding phase, players will secretly take tokens into their hand then everyone reveals their bids all at once. The game end is triggered when someone has either completed all of their Words of Power, or have gained 500+ points in Power Tokens. After one last turn, Power Tokens are counted up, and the player with the most Power wins. Nine unique player screens are used to hide your tokens. Each one features art work and a short bio of a Norse god or goddess (the different gods are cosmetic only; gameplay is not changed.) —description from the publisher Across the Bifrost bridge, the gods of Asgard await Ragnarok, the final battle, their inescapable fate.
