Die Dolmengötter from Eggert Spiele
Posted by Martin on Oct 16, 2005 in Spiel 05A multiplayer abstract game themed on Druids and magic circles. Each player has a number of druids that moves around a grid of interlocking stone circles (or varying value). Each time a druid moves it leaves behind a stone. If you have a majority of stones around a circle you may put a score tile face-down in the centre of it. Several score tiles may end up in one circle and each player's tiles have values from 1 to 4. Final scores are determined by the value of the circle, the value of the tile and whether your tile was top of the stack in the circle or not.
This is a good game. It has interesting decisions and has some good interactions between players in the competition for stone circles. It plays quickly without too much downtime. The productions is adequate rather than inspired. You don't get much for your money in terms of components or game length.

Comments
I agree - the production is not inspired. It's probably not even adequate. The game itself is really good. If only Eggertspiel had done more to improve design and make it visually more appealing.
