The catch is that the player who throws away the most gems gets first pick of the newly laid gems. That means you are constantly deciding which gems to keep, which ones to sacrifice, and how much you’re willing to toss away to get something better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"452\" data-end=\"788\"\u003eThe value of each gem colour changes depending on how many of those gems players are holding, so the game becomes a sharp little puzzle of timing and manipulation. Sometimes you want to collect a colour. Sometimes you want to dump it. Sometimes you just stare at the chicken and wonder why your entire financial plan depends on poultry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"790\" data-end=\"1084\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"790\" data-end=\"800\"\u003eFafnir\u003c\/strong\u003e is quick, quirky, and strategic, with the kind of unusual theme Oink Games is known for. It plays \u003cstrong data-start=\"899\" data-end=\"914\"\u003e2–4 players\u003c\/strong\u003e, takes about \u003cstrong data-start=\"928\" data-end=\"942\"\u003e20 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e, and is recommended for \u003cstrong data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"978\"\u003eages 8+\u003c\/strong\u003e.

That’s good cardboard weirdness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1603\"\u003eWhat sounds interesting here is that the game is not just about collecting the most gems. Since gem values fluctuate based on what players are holding, every discard can affect the overall economy. It gives the game a bit of a market-manipulation feel, but in a much lighter and stranger package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1605\" data-end=\"1764\"\u003eThis looks like a good fit for players who enjoy quick games with unusual scoring, hidden tension, and small decisions that can suddenly become very expensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"dj2fvu\" data-start=\"1766\" data-end=\"1791\"\u003eWhy You Might Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1793\" data-end=\"1969\"\u003eYou might like \u003cstrong data-start=\"1808\" data-end=\"1818\"\u003eFafnir\u003c\/strong\u003e if you enjoy compact strategy games, set collection, auction-style tension, and games where the value of what you’re collecting can shift during play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1971\" data-end=\"2200\"\u003eIt should be a good choice for Oink Games fans, players who like quirky themes, and anyone who wants a quick strategy game that does something a little different. A tiny box full of gems, greed, and one deeply suspicious chicken.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oink Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48161812840683,"sku":"ONKFFNR","price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0402\/5250\/6261\/files\/fafnir-board-game-oink-games-5565464.webp?v=1777572666","url":"https:\/\/wiredvillagegames.com\/products\/fafnir","provider":"WiredVillage Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
