Druids (2016)

About this game

Description from the publisher: Druids is an abstract strategy game for two players that plays in about 10 minutes. Players direct their Druids using a unique movement mechanism in which they can go any orthogonal direction, except the one they are facing. If the Druids pick up the unique animal stones, the Druids gain new ways to move. Finally, players must manipulate the earth itself by moving the Mountains, Rivers, Forests, and Clouds to gain the upper hand. Druids is simple, but contains a few layers that combine to create a fresh and accessible strategy experience.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
