Long before the potato famine, before the Book of Kells was made, before St. Patrick arrived, even before the Romans glimpsed its shores, Ireland was a contested place. Several peoples were lured there by its thick forests, bright green fields, and swift-flowing rivers, including the godlike Tuatha Dé Danann and the monstrous Formorians. The battles, marriages, quests, and migrations of these peoples are remembered in the earliest Irish myths, which are as full of strange magics and uncanny mysteries as the Giant's Causeway and the valley of Glendalough. Inis immerses you in Ireland's mythological era, its fierce heroes, enchanted objects, and beautiful mist-covered landscape. Your goal in Inis is to become Ireland's first High King. Among your allies are the warrior Cuchulainn, the beautiful and tragic Deirdre, and the exiles Diarmuid and Grainne. Your tools include a magical spear, horses made out of sea-foam, a god's cauldron, and all the cards you can gather into your hand. Create your own legendary deeds as you discover the island's territories, clash with rival clans, outsmart your opponents, and build sanctuaries to the gods. What great deeds do you hope to accomplish in Inis? What epic tales will be told about you?
