Description

Bloodstones is a fantasy wargame where 1 to 6 players compete to earn the most victory points by building villages, raiding others, and winning battles. Designed by Martin Wallace, this 2023 release features six unique races, each with its own powers and units represented by domino-shaped tiles. Players draw a starting hand of tiles, which can be used in multiple ways, such as building units, moving them, or improving combat strength. As players take turns, they can perform various actions, with some restrictions, and score points for their villages on the board. The game ends after a set number of scoring rounds, depending on the number of players. With its normal complexity and engaging gameplay, Bloodstones offers a fun experience for fans of fantasy and wargames, and its tile placement mechanics add a strategic layer to the game.
