Nidavellir: Royal Deluxe Treasure is an expansion for Nidavellir released in 2021 for 2–5 players, 45–75 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Serge Laget and its main mechanics are Simultaneous Action Selection, Open Drafting, and Chaining.
Open The Royal Deluxe Treasure box, and behold the wonder of Nidavellir coins! Featuring a bevelled opening, a thermoformed display case to hold the coins, and closed by a transparent plastic lid, this treasure box is majestic! The display neatly organizes the uniquely designed Royal Treasure pieces, providing dedicated compartments for the 5 Elvalands starting pieces, and a designated area for discarding pieces during gameplay. The Royal Deluxe Treasure box measures at: 9.5"x8.5"x4". Additionally, a game variant with an asymmetrical start is included: this means that at the start of the game, you'll get different coins from the other Elvalands, according to the gem drawn at random. This will result in a modification of the Royal Treasure with the addition of an 18, 23 and 25 coin (also included in this Deluxe Royal Treasure). The Royal Deluxe Treasure contains 69 specially designed poker chips, 40 mm in diameter and 3.3 mm thick, with a weight of 13.5 gr.
Nidavellir: Royal Deluxe Treasure supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Nidavellir: Royal Deluxe Treasure is 45–75 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Nidavellir: Royal Deluxe Treasure for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
