In Carnuta, druids gather annually to craft a unique potion by combining secret ingredients and assembling rune cards. Players take two actions per turn to optimize their potion’s ingredients and score points. The game ends when a player places their 11th card. Quick thinking and strategic collection shape the fast-paced gameplay.
Who Is This Game For?
Carnuta is a light to medium-weight game for 2 to 4 players aged 10 and up. With a playtime around 25 minutes, it suits players who enjoy quick, tactical card games with set collection elements. Prior experience with such mechanics helps but is not required.
How It Works
Each turn, you choose two actions from four options to play ingredient cards and improve your potion. The Delayed Purchase mechanic means you must gather ingredients before playing them. Set Collection rewards assembling matching card sets for higher points. The goal is to create the highest scoring potion before someone plays their 11th card and ends the game.
