Start for freeWhat to Expect
In Druids, players collect tricks in five different colors representing knowledge domains. You must avoid collecting unwanted colors to prevent negative points. The game lasts five rounds, with special cards allowing players to avoid tricks or remove cards. This creates a tactical experience blending trick-taking with set collection and interaction.
Who Is This Game For?
Druids is a medium complexity game for 3 to 5 players aged 10 and up, with about 45 minutes playtime. It suits players who enjoy trick-taking games combined with set collection, requiring some experience but accessible to enthusiasts.
How It Works
Players are dealt cards in five colors numbered 1 to 12. They play tricks, and the winner collects cards sorted by color in front of them. If multiple cards of one color are won, the lowest value card is placed on top. Special cards let players avoid tricks or remove colors. After five rounds, the player with the most points wins.
