📖 About This Game
Building Stonehenge is a dice drafting and manipulation game, set in the time of legend when Stonehenge was built.
As the Wizard Merlin, your goal is to occupy all 12 spaces on the outside circle with posts (dice). This is done by drafting and manipulating the dice through actions, to direct them to their right position. Each new movement earns you actions from the action/direction tiles you go through, and from the lintels you put in place.
Gameplay
Each turn, you may:
Draft a new die, or
Move a die according to an action/direction tile, earning a manipulation action.
When you move a die to the outer circle, you
Roll and add a new die to your dice pool.
Remove the action/direction tile from the game.
If you have 2 adjacent dice on the outer circle, you must:
Place a lintel tile and take its manipulation action.
Win by getting the 12th die in place!
