Board Game Geek Rating: 5.97. Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 7.37. This game is for 2 to 4 players and was published in 2019. It's the Kickstarter Edition of the Rune Stones Board Game. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign aren't included unless stated otherwise. Rune Stones, designed by the well - known RÜdiger Dorn, is a thrilling deck - building and hand - management game. Each card has a unique number. You play two cards together, and the higher - numbered one leaves your deck. So, choose your cards wisely! Use your cards to collect gems, turn them into Artifacts, and then combine these into Rune Stones for special abilities throughout the game. More artifacts in a Rune Stone mean more points. Decide if it's better to get abilities early or save for high scores. On your turn, you have three choices: Summon Creatures by using spell power from your hand to get new creature cards. Play two cards from your hand for resources, new cards, or points, but the higher - numbered card is removed. Forge Artifacts by spending gems at 6 Dwarf forges. When you have at least two different - colored artifacts, make a Rune Stone for an ability and many points. The first to 65 points ends the game, and the one with the most points at the round's end wins. You'll play as druids, proving your skills with rune stones. Summon creatures, get gems, and let dwarfs make powerful rune stones. As your artifacts grow, so does your rune stone power. Each stone gives a permanent ability and power points, helping you get more gems and artifacts and increasing your chance to claim the throne. The druid with the most power points at game's end is the winner. We're happy to support campaigns to bring you games like the Rune Stones Kickstarter Game, available at TheGameSteward. A large part of your spending on Rune Stones will go towards backing new Kickstarter games. If you have questions about buying or need game advice, contact The Game Steward.
How to use: First, set up the game according to the instructions. Each player starts with a deck of cards. On your turn, you can choose from three actions. To summon creatures, use spell power from your cards in hand to take new creature cards from the display. When playing cards, pick two from your hand for resources, new cards, or points, but remember the higher - numbered card will be removed. For forging artifacts, spend your gems at the 6 Dwarf forges. Once you have at least two different - colored artifacts, make a Rune Stone. Try to get to 65 points first to end the game. The player with the most points at the end of the round wins. Note: This is the Kickstarter Edition, and paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless otherwise stated. Keep track of your cards and the numbers on them to avoid losing your best ones. Maintenance: Keep the cards in a dry and cool place to prevent them from getting damaged. If the cards get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft cloth. Don't bend or fold the cards roughly to maintain their quality.
