Moonstone (2016)

About this game

Moonstone is a whimsical fantasy Skirmish game for two or more players, which sees you leading a troupe of fairy-tale inspired characters across farmsteads, town centres, and the darkest of forests in search of precious Moonstones. When your troupes encounter a town or field belonging to another player, it is a mad scramble to grab as many stones as quickly as possible while also denying the opponents whatever stones they may be foolish to lay claim to.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 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.
