Dolmen

Description

Dolmen is a cooperative game of logic and spatial management, where players take on the roles of druids and shamanesses working to rebuild a stone circle and contain a growing lunar curse. Each turn, a player plays a card that determines how many steps the Sun Herald moves along a circular track. The landing space indicates the available actions for placing or moving wooden blocks within the play area. Each card also shows a 3D block configuration—an objective that must be completed before the Moon phase is triggered. When the Sun Herald crosses certain thresholds, the Moon advances. Its movement depends on the number and value of unresolved objectives. If the Moon advances too quickly, a Spell card is revealed, introducing new complications. The game offers adjustable difficulty through a system of Curse cards, which introduce lasting conditions. Only a few are used each game, ensuring variety from one session to the next. Dolmen is designed to be accessible to family groups as well. —description from the publisher
