Rune Stones

This edition is in German, English, French and Dutch. Who will become the mightiest druid in the realm and take the throne? In Rune Stones you step into the role of a druid who learns to master the power of mystical stones. You summon magical creatures, collect sparkling gems and forge special artefacts. Every choice brings you one step closer to power, while your opponents are trying to do exactly the same. At the heart of Rune Stones is a deck-building game with a clever twist. Each turn you play two cards together, but only one of them comes back into your deck. The card with the highest number is gone for good. That makes every move a little puzzle: what do you use now, and what do you save for later? With your creatures you gather gems, at the dwarven forges you turn them into artefacts, and two artefacts of different colours can be forged together into a powerful Rune Stone. That gives you a lasting ability as well as points. Each turn you choose from three actions: summon new creatures, play cards for resources and points, or forge artefacts. The game ends as soon as someone reaches 65 points, and whoever has the most power points then gets to take the throne. An exciting battle full of timing and forward thinking, to settle at the table who deserves the realm.
