Nidavellir review

Nidavellir is a fun, engaging game that I've really enjoyed playing. I especially appreciate the unique bidding mechanic where you place bets to choose turn order. This makes the game feel fast-paced and keeps players engaged. The game is easy to learn, even with a lot of components, and you can be playing within 15 minutes of opening the box. I really enjoy the artwork and the fact that each player has their own custom-shaped board. The game also has a lot of replay value, as there are many different paths to victory.

While I find the game to be a bit on the lighter side, there's a lot of strategy involved. I especially enjoy figuring out how to utilize the different heroes and their unique abilities. Some reviewers have mentioned that the game could benefit from having more turns per player, and I agree that this would add a bit more depth to the gameplay. Overall, I highly recommend Nidavellir to anyone who enjoys bidding games or games with a fantasy theme.
